[QUOTE=Imeneo]I would prefer that southwest revise their horrific boarding scheme first before they concentrate on further expansion. From personal experience alone I really don't think the "choose your own seat" philosophy actually gets the plane off the ground faster... especially since everyone boarding the plane does not take the first open seat.... but rather seem to pick and choose preferred seating which holds up the line way up the jetway on a full flight.


I agree..years ago, when I was a lowly military flyer, and had to fly SWA as pax, I was elbowed in the ribs by an 80 y/o lady during the boarding process...

That old "blue hair" took my backwards facing bulkhead seat...
