Just to be clear -- since you repeated it twice, and may not be aware: OP may not actually be "better than anyone who did T-24."
Southwest re-issues the boarding positions of passengers who are checked in but then change or cancel their flight. This allows the next random person who did not pay the extra fee to snag that position. They are often low A positions and this happens not-infrequently.
(And, yes -- the OP has no beef here. They need to read the terms of the product they are buying.)
