Meal or no meal I can't stand Southwest. Makes me wait in 3 lines.I feel the slow turmaround is dued to passengers with lots of carry on's, which is still a problem even after Sep 11. I know a number of people complained loudly on beening limited and then try to cheat.

Even if you get to the aiport early, unless you are aggressive you can still not get a decent seat. Because I've seen people saving seats for late arrivals. You also have to be quick in getting in the last 2 lines. Because these determines where you sit. I flew SW once because it was cheap and didn't want to waste mt ff miles. After being herded like cattle. I say forget it.
