Southwest’s Obfuscated Boarding
Southwest is doing away with their cattle lineup, at least partially. Instead of putting 70% of passengers in group A and having them get up when group A is called along with stupid people that can’t read single letters, they are assigning a group letter along with number. This is supposed to allow people to line up in order. Does anyone else think this is asinine? It’s already a hassle when some moron gets to the front of the line and has to be told he is not in the current boarding group. Does Southwest really think people that can’t read individual letters will be able to count? Now they are going to hold up the line, telling people they are in the wrong letter group and wrong number group. Do they really think this is going to prevent people from lining up in the wrong order before it’s their turn, or do they think this puts a stop to people saving seats with luggage? What stops A-1 from saving a seat for C-9? Just assign seats!
