Last week, I went round trip ORD-CLT on AA. Both flights were delayed leaving ( One for weather and the other for mechanical ). On both flights, the FA's asked people to remain in their seats until connecting passenger could deplane and make their connections. On both flights, 3/4 of the plane remained in place while people who needed to got off. I have never considered Southwest passengers different than other airlines - but I do now.
