I will now fly other carriers whenever price allows. I realize I can get my family in the "A" group but with all the other A's behind me breathing down my neck it will be more stressful than ever to get 2 little ones stowed away with all of their stuff. The competition 24 hours before the flight to get the best A slot will now be horrendous; I know I'll get on their 24 hrs in advance adn still be way down the A list when people catch on to the new system. And the farther back families go, the slower they will board.
I also fly alone a lot, and when I do, I don't want to be near anyone's kids - its best to have them seated and settled so I know where they are. Other carriers may not allow preboarding, but they assign seats and if you book early enough you can pick out your own online. Your system was better, now it is worse.
This plan will make a lot of business people happy, but will be hard on familiies so I suggest you stop flying to Orlando all together. (and remember, that family traveller you're shunning is tomorrow's business traveler.)
I also just read you tried to force families behind row 18 once. Once our kids turn 2, we pay the same as an adult for their ticket. I would have totally objected to that. Wow
By the way, I've been thinking about getting the credit card, but won't bother.
