If I'm flying with family I'll take Spirit over Southsmwest because of this.
I have to say we’ve never had an issue with southwest boarding as a family, and actually think it works very well for families. Family boarding happens after group A and in my experience there are always whole open rows after group A for us to sit together as a unit.
Although I could see if you are running late for whatever reason it could be an issue. And we have had some tight connections where we are late walking on the plane but I guess haven’t had this issue yet.
I wonder if they couldn’t keep their open seating for 80% of the plane but just reserve some rows initially for people flying with kids under a certain age to reserve a seat.

I pity the person who has a decent B number to a family destination. Half the plane to Florida will be families.
A cruel joke is to checkin late and get a C number if you're traveling as a family because it won't matter but some poor bastard is about to get hosed.

It also works well if you're traveling alone, especially in the summer. I checked in on time, was like B15-20 and ended up in the first 5 rows on recent flights because so many travelers were family and wanted to sit together, going towards the back and taking middle seats. So yay, aisle seat, front of the plane.
