by the way... families don't sit up front because the are the "coveted seats!!" If you flew with children you would know we sit up front because it is the closest available seat and it beats taking ANYONE UNDER 10 down the aisle past 20 other rows!!!
and Teresa... getting an A ticket still doesn't give people with small children the time or ROOM to get on the plane and get the car seat strapped in along with diaper bag etc... if you have ever tried it you have about 50 irritated people behind you pushing you and your kid to hurry up and move it....

If your plan was to make your business travelers happy then congrats you did it....
If you thought families wouldn't mind being told that the "A" people should board first just because they were "A" people - well you were wrong...
I understand you think that boarding between A and B there will be seats left for families to sit together but what about those flights that have many people "staying on the plane"?
Why is it quicker between A and B ? But NOT quicker before A??? Where did that reasoning come in??? Truly you just don't want to p-off your "A" people off.... but its OK to p-off the families?
Those of you that posted that you don't understand why families should board first obviously don't have small children... I didn't understand either until I had them... Boarding first is a blessing and a gift and SWA just took that gift away from its families...
I think you will loose a lot of families to their cars or other discount fliers... we are flying SWA this weekend and need tickets for Christmas.... My husband asked "Why are you even looking at Southwest? We aren't flying them any more...."
