One other consequence of not letting families get on first is that if the flight is full and they are in group C, there's a decent chance that they wouldnt be able to sit together.

These families, if they don't have an 'A' pass, now board after the 'A' group.

Families are still getting preferential treatment, just not most preferred status, a family with C or B is promoted to B+/A-. After the A group, the back of the plane is still wide open.

Southwest seems to have found your middle ground. I applaud their innovation.
