And I honestly don't think SWA could do anything about it. They couldn't go and put other people on the flight that might be waiting standby just because there are over 100 empty seats. Those seats would be "PAID FOR" and "TAKEN".
If anyone wants to be famous on Airline, we could get a few of us together for a $19 promo fare sale, and book as much of the flight as allowable online.. maximum cost would be $2,603 + airport and security fees divided by a few people would actually not be too bad to 'charter' the entire 137 seat B737 airplane. HA this would be hilarious.. you could go on tv saying we don't travel well with others, didn't want to share the 2 bathrooms, we were hungry and wanted 137 bags of peanuts, wanted the flight attendants to have an easy flight, are doing our part to help the airline to save fuel costs on a lower weight flight, etc. Too bad the RR credits aren't 1.5 x 137, it would just be 1.5 total, otherwise I'm sure others would already have attempted this. Reply back if anyone wants to try this.

They would change their policy shortly after to allow maximum 2 seats per person even with the person of size rule, because they usally expect to make more than $2603 revenue per flight.
I'm not sure how many seats we can buy on the promo fare, since they only allow a certain % of capacity to sell at the cheapest rates. Perhaps by simultaneously having a few people hit submit on 8-ticket orders we could trick the system into selling all tickets at $19 a pop.
