actually, I am.
Go over to Flyertalk or one of the frequent flyer boards.
There you will read about the business travelers, the ones who fly weekly on high fare tickets. They get pretty upset when someone upsets the "system".
They want the seat that their boarding # entitles them to. It may be a specific seat in a specific row. So if someone "cuts in line" they will complain.
this may not be important to you, but it is definitely important to many of Southwest's best customers.
and these customers are not nearly as entitled as some of you pilots

From: DOWNGRADE COMPLETE: Thanks Gary. Thanks SWAPA.
I got to the gate after pre-boarding was done for a JS home, and since they were already almost done with group A and my JS ticket said B24 I just got in line. Gate agent immediately waved me up and told me to get on the plane, said have a nice trip home and a good weekend.
I think smiling helps.

In this case, my boarding pass was not JS and I wasn't there for pre-boarding either.
And yes usually I do get listed for JS, makes things simpler for everyone.

Don't have to go there, I lived it. ACMI with international paid commute for 7 years, followed by fractional for 8 more, took me 5 months to get to Senator class at DLH. He didn't cut the line, the SWA OPS guy told him to get on, he explained to everyone on board how he ended up there early, and got told off by an FA who could not reach a basic level of common sense. He would have been totally right to raise a stink as a paying customer, he was definitely not an entitled pilot.

Kronan,
You and I must have met the same FA.
Got told off for taking the emergency exit. I’m like I’ve got a regular ticket and I was told to board.
Anyway halfway through the flight a pax in front of me asked her a question about flight time and weather or something. She goes like “ why don’t you ask MISTER PILOT over here”
Ah well...anybody can have a bad day I guess.
