southwest pre boarding pet peeve

It grinds my wheels. There are seven people in wheel chairs that are pre boarding. What's the criteria for this? Half of them look able bodied. on my last flight the pre boarder was throwing elbows and running down the terminal to catch a flight. It seems to be getting abused much like the Disney scooter.

Same thing with people that have handicapped parking tags. Is it worth worrying over?

I've never really paid attention, but how do those people make their way from the cockpit area down the aisle to their seat?

I was at Love Field a few months ago getting on a Southwest flight. One guy was preboarded because he was beyond morbidly obese. He took up two seats on the plane.

There's a very narrow wheelchair that can fit down the aisle of the aircraft, if a person can't walk at all. They'll transfer the passenger from the "normal" wheelchair to the narrow one at the end of the jetway.

I guess obesity is a disability now. Damn this country is going to shite.

Last night in Jacksonville airport , I counted 23 people in wheelchairs getting off a Southwest flight. Maybe three of them needed a chair and the rest are scamming the system. Really slowed down the entire deplaning process and delayed our departure. Three of the twenty three were white and fat, the rest......

I've never understood the obsession with boarding first. I get that some planes are first come-first serve seating, but I notice it on flights that aren't. No idea why people are in a rush to sit longer on the plane.
People being assholes unboarding when they're trying to skip people and whatnot are just as bad. Unless you have a close call layover, at worst you're on the plane for maybe 6 or 7 minutes longer than the people in the front seats.

Yeah this just fricks shite up in general. I love when people stand up like they can get off faster than everyone in front of them.

I seldom get aggravated flying, but damn this annoys the shite out of me. I also get annoyed by the guy who grabs his carry-on from the overhead compartment and takes his sweet time loading up his neck pillow and kindle before exiting the aisle.

My best flight ever was a short connection where I had to run to the gate. They closed the gate shortly behind me and I sat down and the plane pushed back right after that. Boarding last is much better.

Unless you're flying through somewhere that's an old people tourist destination. shite takes forever.

I am one of those people you speak of, I always stand up when the bell chimes. I can't stand the whole process and am extremely impatient when it comes to how people get off of a plane. I love the person who sits in row 4 but has luggage stored over row 14.

Where did you go to medical school? I'm extremely impressed with your diagnostic abilities! As these 23 passengers in wheelchairs rolled by in the boarding area, without asking a single question of any of them, you were able to determine that at least 20 were scamming the system. Amazing work, doctor!
