Don’t you already have dh must be window or aisle? If so consider premium if you end up in a middle. It can happen with last min bookings even with that language so might as well make them pay. We have that at f9 and got the premium on you with if we ended up with a C boarding pass. I should mention I believe there’s been a loa with a carveout specifically for swa flights but can’t remember exactly what it says now? It’s not C boarding anymore.

Even for offline? If that’s the case yeah you’ll want that. Do you have no dh can be forced into the jump? I know it’s policy but is there language?

I agree we need no middle seats in the CBA. Assigned seating is the only thing that's going to put a stop to this pre-board circus.

Yes, that one is fortunately in there: "A pilot will be guaranteed a seat in the cabin but may at his discretion ride on the cockpit jump seat to prevent the removal of a customer from the flight if an over-sell occurs."

There needs to be language to address that situation. Maybe the ops agent informs the operating crew to block an aisle seat for each dh’er that is on tight connect?? Or additional pay if there is not enough connection time to pre-board??

FA’s did me a solid saving room in a bin and got me a seat close to the front. Old Jewish couple refused to sit together but talked over me and passed their phones back and forth in front of me for almost 3 hrs. Finally I told them to knock it off or switch seats.

We don’t dh on offline carriers… only SW flights. Deadheaders are allowed to pre-board and choose whatever seat desired. In a perfect world its not an issue, but the problem arrises when there is a tight connection and pre-board is not an option. In that case it may or may not be a middle seat depending on how full the flight.
