Child travelling alone on WN?

I'd like to send my son, who will be 7.5 years old, to visit his dad in the spring. I can do direct, but not nonstop, flights on Southwest to accomplish this, but I'm wondering whether anyone has any experiences with the unaccompanied minor program, good or bad, to share. My plan would definitely be to send him on an early-in-the-day flight, because I know what can happen with weather and such. And he's an experienced flyer--probably has flown 3-4 times a year since he was born, including some transatlantic flights. What else should I be thinking about as I evaluate this plan?
