Default Re: On Southwest Airlines new family boarding policy

Frankly, I wouldn't care about sitting in the back.

However, 'A' groupers will still get to deal with families trying to lug their stuff down the aisle - impossible to avoid hitting someone with something during that process.

And while we didn't use a car seat, it still took us a while to get organized at our seats. Which meant we blocked the aisle during that time.

I started this thread partly to vent, but also to gauge reaction vs. the SWA blog post comments. tl;dr is weighing in much the same, with views on either side.



I've done a lot of business traveling solo as well. I didn't care for screaming babies or getting my seat kicked any more than anyone else would.

I never felt the hate for family fliers that I'm seeing both here and on the SWA blog though. I don't understand it.

There is a growing segment of society that detests children and the people who have them. It's not confined to this airline policy; my daughter and I have been scowled at by angry lesbians on the streets in Berkeley as well.

WTF? Do all these people hate their own parents this much for bringing them into the world?
