FAI boarded super quick the other day, no gap between letters (or sequences of letters).

II can confirm PRI works for both Main and F for this 100K (not that I typically board then)

And Southwest cleans planes while deboarding....every employee is hustling to get the aircraft ready...even the pilots help from time to time too!

Unfortunately that's becoming too frequent for my liking...... .. I personally like it when there is a some gap between groups.. (if plane on time).. That would help enforce boarding by group as they repeatedly call out boarding that group only and will tell you to sit back down if you're not part of that group.. . Had an AA to DFW flight last week and they really had a good minute or so gap before they even called the next group (after the prior one went into the jet bridge). Was very orderly... .... .International carriers do this pretty well.

Side note: I have the Pri on the mobile boarding pass on a flight to DC tomorrow. (the posts above seem to indicate it was on paper boarding passes and gate screens only in the first iterations of rolling out).

Did you give the miscreant youth his comeuppance?
