Therefore we shouldn’t we allowed to do it. 
The reality is with all airlines the prices are all over the place. You could be sitting next to someone who paid double what you did just to get a ticket. 
Just be nice. [/quote]

Boarding early to have more seat choice is an extra add on (or sometimes included in a higher priced seat).  If an individual does not pay for it, they should not get it because their wife paid for it.  Imagine paying extra at Disney to skip the line..and then pulling your spouse or whole family in based on your one purchase.[/quote]

Yes. But this is also true for the pre boarders who don’t pay at all. [/quote]

Because they have special needs..[/quote]

Or they claim to. Plenty fake it and admit doing so. [/quote]

SWA just needs to make sure these people get off last. it's fine to let them board first for their safety and because they need more time. SWA should also ensure their safety by getting them off last so they can take extra time. Safety first. [/quote]

Preboarding people with disabilities isn’t always about their safety and it isn’t advertised about being for their safety.

And if they waste time with your weird policing the exits policy, to satisfy the weirdly bitter person who had to let a disabled kid get on the plane and stow her O2 before she did, they will have more delays turning over the plane since they have to clean it.  People will miss connections, and need to be rebooked at Southwest’s expense. And a flight attendant is standing at the exit to do what? Tell someone to sit down? That delays departure for the whole plane.

Your main character syndrome? Is not relevant to Southwest’s bottom line. Cause you’re still giving them the money.[/quote]

What difference does it make to the total deboarding time if they are first or last? It doesn't. But everyone else might have connections or reasons to get off first and quicker instead of waiting. There won't be more delays, it just does things in a more orderly way without inconveniencing the whole plane on arrival. These people aren't selfish are they? Surely they wouldn't mind letting others go ahead if they have a connection or have to use the restroom. [/quote]

On southwest? A huge difference, because they are distributed throughout the plane. So let’s say my daughter and I are sitting in an aisle and middle seat. The person in the window seat isn’t disabled, but we need to let him out, so we have to stand in the aisle, blocking everyone else, but not getting off the plane. Then we have to get back into our seats.  We sit close to the front of the plane, so you’re starting your de-boarding process with a delay.

If everyone who pre-boarded was seated at the back of the plane, then having them disembark last would make sense. [/quote]

So you selfishly take an aisle and middle and some point in the boarding process have to get out of your seats again, to let someone  scoot over to the window, thus delaying boarding? Why aren't you in the middle and window yourselves since you care a lot about efficient boarding and boarding processes.[/quote]

Think this through.

Why would a family traveling with a child with a disability need to sit in the aisle seat.

Think carefully I’m sure it’s going to come to you. [/quote]

Does the kid need to run up and down the aisle? Good thing the fasten seat belt sign is on for most of the flight. [/quote]

The kid might need emergency medical attention you dolt, and pulling them over the person in the aisle to administer oxygen or injectable drugs isn’t fun for anyone. [/quote]

Is the person on the aisle in a coma? They can easily get up, dolt. Think it through.[/quote]

Yeah? And if they’re sleeping on a night flight they’ll get up right away? You are willing to bet your child’s life on that? Cause I’m sure not.[/quote]

You seem like one of those ladies who spends hours a day on the internet arguing about disability accomodations. Am I wrong?[/quote]

You are. There’s no real need to argue in 99% of cases— the ADA is clear about what a reasonable accommodation is.
Everything else is just people being angry because their socioeconomic position doesn’t allow them to fly in a more comfortable way.

But someone thinking airlines should assign staff to make sure a kid with a walker or a grandmother with an 02 tank gets off last? That’s just sick.[/quote]

It's sick to make sure people can get off safely without standing in a crowded aisle? Get real, you and your kid aren't that disabled you just want first one, first off, because it's nice.[/quote]

We don’t get first off. We get first on. We get off with our row.

If we needed first off for some reason and it was considered a reasonable accommodation we would use it. It’s very strange that you think it should be someone’s job to keep disabled people sitting on a plane, especially on Southwest where it’s worse for everyone. Have you considered flying business class on an airline that assigns seats? You’ll get on first and off first.[/quote]

I don't think you fly very much. They do make wheelchair users wait until everyone is off. Also unaccompanied minors. Strange that you think this logical safety measure doesn't happen. This is when the fakers get up and walk off, because they don't actually need to wait for that wheelchair and want FIFO.[/quote]
