You also beat your dieck like it owes you money.

wow, what a lucid response from one of the "usual suspects." Must have hit a little close to home.

If you sign up to be a jumpseater with DAL, AMR, etc, when do you board? When your Group is called. If you are 21B, you sit there. Until now preboarding has been a privledge for "outsiders." Dont hate us, hate the game.
PS. Twice last week I JS'd in uniform. Both times I was told it was ok to board early.

Sure, but the new restrictions start tomorrow. Your milage WILL vary.

with bussiness travelers paying a little extra I guess they don't want to jeapordize us taking their seats. You know what would work? I wonder if this has been brought up but can't jumpseaters in uniform pre board and wait in the back galley until all of the preferential passengers are done boarding? I don't care about the seat as much as stowing my crap no matter where it ends up as long as it is in the cabin.

"But Joe Brancatelli, who runs a business-travel Web site, said frequent travelers would feel short-changed.

'The one thing business travelers wanted from Southwest was an assigned seat,' he said. 'This is, 'Give me $30 more and I'll give you something less ... and I'll throw in a free drink.' They didn't ask for a free drink. 'Southwest has long resisted corporate discounts, which many other airlines negotiate one at a time with their biggest customers."

I just used swa on 11-11-07 and I was able to pre-board. The crew and gate was great as always. Thank you again SWA.
