![]() We all have bigger things to deal with than someone boarding before you.Īnd to those that think pre-boarders need to leave the plane last. Really wish people would get over the rants about it. If I have a seat on the plane, we are all getting there at the same time. ![]() When I fly by myself, I have never once thought about the pre-boarders gaining some advantage over me by getting on the plane first. I'm sure there are a few GA who don't help with this, but rest assured a lot of them do! We have been told and heard the Gate Agents tell "groups" that are wanting to pre-board that only 1 person can go with the disabled person. Now, one of us boards with him while the other 2 stand in line. However, on multiple occasions, once the girls got old enough to stand in line by themselves, they stopped allowing that. When our kids were small, they allowed us all to pre-board with him (I as his "attendant" and our 2 girls). Once they call for pre-boarding, he does get out of the chair and walks up to the line and onto the plane. It's a no win situation, thus the wheelchair. And, if that same person doesn't see my husband and runs into him, he will fall. Through airports we use wheelchairs because too many people don't pay attention to where they are walking and if my husband has to move quickly to avoid a collision, he will fall. My husband pre-boards (he has Cerebral Palsy). Come-on Southwest, be a leader in doing the right thing for all concerned. I hate to think if one of those hard suitcases come free and lands on a passenger they'll have some serious injuries. Suitcases larger than your dimensions and entering the plane and being stored overhead. And please change the overhead luggage policy. "How many people does it take to assist a disaple person" Answer:6 Southwest wake-up, revisit the policy and force the correct use of people with disabilities, it gives them a bad name. in additon some of the people had their families who also accompanied them into the plane. ![]() These very same people walked to the gate sat in a chair to board and when asked if they could walk into the plane 6 of the 10 (the couples) left their chair and walked down the ramp into the plane. Could that be a coincidence or just abuse to get a good seat. My recent trip there wer 10 wheelchairs that required preboarding and 6 of the 10 were couples. After reading and experiencing first hand, I fully agree with and request Southwest correct this problem. ![]()
