Am Ex is definitely in bed with Delta. If was FO on Delta I would be furious that the Delta Am Ex card holders got to board in the same zone. Am Ex is pretty close with Costco and Hilton as well, but not nearly like with Delta. But with the united credit card (issued by the same bank as Southwests) you also get early boarding, and I believe it is the same way with AA's. But a legacy's boarding is a little different than southwest's since those people won't get any better seats like on WN, just a better chance of bin space.

You forgot the most important part - the cutting! You don't want a bunch of pax running around with their huevos still attached. A Texas thing for sure, but also anywhere else around the rural west.

There is almost nothing more fun than to see the look on the check in agent's face (not to mention those checking in around me) when I tell them that I am my own companion.
I live in fear that WN will cancel this perk. It is fun and rewarding. Well, not fear like scared out of my socks fear but fear like I will have to be a "normal" COS again. It is really a lot of fun.
