Being assigned a seat in zone 2 appears to me to violate the FOM.
Walking up when your zone 1 is called means everything is full 110% of the time.

Of course you need a quick turn to make it work. Otherwise you're just screwed.

Two different data points from two different folks.
Either way, it needs to be fixed!

On AA DH's, even us flying for PDT/PSA/ENY, will show up on the NS (Crew list); we can board as soon as they have a full crew alotment - as they consider us 'working crew members.'
I believe this has mentioned before, but wanted to put it all in one spot just incase it is not.

At SWA we can preboard, and thus have plenty of overhead bins (and seats) for the choosing. I know our system is different with no assigned seats, but maybe they could work it out for y’all to preboard before the zones ???
