Honestly how funny is that haha! I wonder what happened… 😬

The Air Carrier Access Act doesn't allow them to grab just any seat they want. Its directive to the airlines is very specific:

"You are not required to furnish more than one seat per ticket or to provide a seat in a class of service other than the one the passenger has purchased in order to provide an accommodation required by this part."

I have no idea how the specifics will work as far as enforcing this, but the medical preboards who didn't buy extra legroom seats can absolutely be required to go back to the standard coach seats.

I don't know either, but my guess is that they just won't care. It's a temporary problem and it would be dumb to spend a bunch of effort mitigating it. Let them have one last hurrah on the preboard scam before the party is over.

SWA can easily sell open seating but in a specific cabin. If the "business cabin" is sold out, they'll darn well enforce cabin assignments... as opposed to send the actual business traveller who paid for it back to the middle no-recline lav-view seat. If not sold out will they just tolerate pre-board squatters? My guess is that would just set a bad precedent for when it is sold out.

You have not idea how out of touch to the real world WN Headquarters is along with the 750 VPs . All they know is pilots should not make more than a VP , and when the pickleball Court times are set .

It’s over 80 now I think. We have more VP’s than DL (60ish) with 2/3 of the employees .

Why don't you show your numbers that we have 750 VP's. Also back up your claim any VP has said a pilot here should not make more than them. You guys make a lot of accusations, but you never back any of it up. So back it up. And whats up with the pickle ball court? There always been some kind of court out there. Baskeball, volleyball. So what's the big deal?

Oh, so you must be a former AT guy who thinks he got shafted by SWA huh? Why don't you share some real info instead of crying like a baby with his thumb in his mouth! Or do you have nothing but rumors like SWA has 750 VP. And by the way why don't you produce that 5 leg day you claim SWA scheduled you to do. Let's see it or is that BS too?
