Moooo.  Like cattle, we line up to go through the line and get on the plane.  In the past, there was mauling and gnashing of teeth to see who could be at the front of the 'A' line, and then a senior citizen or parent with 4 kids would snag the exit row because they were allowed to pre-board (even though legally they're not supposed to sit in the exit row if they're so old that they need extra time to get a seat, or if a parent watching kids).  My only consolation is seeing how irate the families get now that their precious \""family boarding\"" is after the 'A' group, making them have to push and shove with the rest of us, and fight to the death for precious overhead space.\n\nWe don't have a fist-fight at the front of the 'A' line any longer.  Instead, there are a bunch of pathetic people who sit in front of their computer and wait until exactly 24 hours before the flight to log on and claim their 'A' boarding pass.  What is amusing is that I tried this once, at exactly the 24 hour limit, and yet I'm somehow #33 in the 'A' group.  Way to go Southwest - eliminate once crazy line and create another.\n\nStewards and Stewardesses are dressed casual, make jokes that are marginally funny at best, and have ruined air travel for the rest of us on other airlines because so many people are accustomed to behaving and dressing however they want on a flight.  Oh God, bring back the days when air travel was a luxury, and the bus people took the bus (or Amtrak, for that matter).  \n\nSouthwest is truly the Wal-Mart of airlines, and has impacted the air travel industry negatively for who knows how long.
