We love open seating. But if you decide to go to a reservation system, we're sure it will be executed in a first rate fashion. Here are two suggestions offered in the most gentle manner. First, some passengers are unfamiliar with the Southwest custom that requires people, not bags, to hold a place in line. Something as simple as a sign might be helpful in reminding passengers that leaving a bag in one of the aisles is rude, not to say risking the collection of unmonitered luggage if a waiting passenger were sufficiently annoyed. Second, we think it is a bit unbecoming to sue Board First. You are not losing any revenue and the service is very helpful when your interim destination does not provide online capabilities. Cheers
