Preboarding has become a joke and I, as an A List Plus and Companion Pass holder, am now going to only fly SW as needed. 18 preboards last flight, I watched after prior to the boarding when they announced a "full flight" a lady go up and say she had a bad back and the attendent handed her a preboard and she was bragging when she got back that she was not gonna board in group B. I am also 6'7", I have both knees replaced and I could preboard, i could park in handicap parking but i choose not to because people are more needing. I 99% of the time hold A-1 and am simply sick of an elderly 5'5" person sitting in row 1 who once we land has a miracle and struts off the plane SW needs a wheelchair on wheelchair off mandatory policy and Pre Boards should be made to exit after general population. Also Row 1 especially on short flights should be reserved for business travelers of height, and only open to legit wheel chair bound people. I fly exclusively in Florida and I love the 10 wheel chairs from Tampa to Fll, dragged on barely walking to seats then low and behold when we land and the cruise ship is waiting dance off the plane after the took the first 4 rows SW has become a joke and pre boarding is a circus and its time to fly another airline where I can buy my seat and not worry about stuffing my frame into a middle seat for a 35 min flight The flight attendents on my Baltimore to FLL were openly complaining about the preboards and what a joke it has become listen to your employees SW
