That's entirely possible. The point of this thread though was that a boarding pass would somehow indicate whether someone had pre-boarded. That is not the case.

Actually the point of this thread was to point out yet more inconsistancy in Southwest's handling of boarding.

I was in DAL one time when a woman escorted her sister to the gate and then informed the person at the counter that her sister was deaf and would need someone to let her know when boarding would begin. Not sure which of several flights in the area she was talking about and didn't get a clear look at the sister. I hope she made her flight.

This morning my wife flew home.
She was a surprisingly high A-19 (she is only A-list) on what was announced as a full flight. Even more surprising there were no pre-boards, no BS passengers and A-16 and A-17 were not at the gate (perhaps their connecting flight was late).
She was the second passenger to board. She selected the window LUV seat. The FA tried to get her to move assuming she was a pre-board. She was asked if there was something wrong with her leg. I think that was illegal, but that is beside the point. She didn't move.
