Edit: Also, in general if you ask, people are often willing to move forward or back a row to let you sit near each other as things fill up. Though it's not likely someone will move from an aisle/window to a middle seat unless it is for a special reason (like your flight companion is a child).
Children and newlyweds for me.
You co-workers out there can just catch up when you land instead, or use the free messaging.

This happened to me as well. I paid to be in the A group. Why couldn't he do it as well? On top of that, three A listers had to leave there front row seat so El Cheapo could be with his daughter.

So shouldn't your family pay to upgrade? Why should your status insure they get priority boarding?

That is the guidance if you want to board together. Obviously as discussed at length that isn't stated in writing anywhere by Southwest. I had missed this thread earlier, I'm amused by the concept of "Schroedinger's Seat" @chgoflyer.

How about assigning seats from the exit row forward? One good thing is that if they do go full assigned seating, then the preboard scam will decrease and the miracle flights will stop. SWA created this inevitibility by thinking people would not take advantage of the system. They made it worse when they added the priority boarding option. People figured out long ago that they could scam the preboard requirement and then make it even worse trying to save more seats, or even rows of seats. It is just a matter of time before one or more people get into a brawl onboard, and it is entirely SWA's fault when that happens.

Ignore the seat savers claim and just sit wherever you want to. If there is not a person in the seat, its open. The faking preboarding is only getting worse. Its such a big joke the SWA employees call them 'miracle flights'. People who needed wheelchairs to pre board get healed in flight and dont need it on exit...

But I do appreciate that he posted about his experience as I've experienced the same bad customer service from SW. It's good info for the community so we're better equipped to weigh our options when choosing an airline.
