New To Southwest Open Seating Musical Chairs
Guess I must be old School. I'm used to Movie theaters having Open seats. Now Movie theaters have assigned seats. Planes use to have Assigned Seats. Now WN has Open seats. I understand the A-C group boarding system, but what happens if U are in Group C and there R no more seats. What does Southwest do then?

See the United forum for an in depth, detailed thread about denied boarding with some people giving great explanations on how it works. And lots of people who think they know how it works.

So I can see where someone would be skeptical.
How tacky.

I answered your post thinking you had a genuine question but now I see that you posted in the United thread a comment about how well WN GA's handle IDB. Now I have to wonder why you would come here asking how WN handles IDB's after you already posted something indicating you have knowledge of how WN does IDB's.
So I can see where someone would be skeptical.

WoW.. The logic here is Amazing. Which college teaches that? Talk about comparing Hellcats to Big Cats. Every Airline does not have OPEN seating. Hence, every pax will not know the rules regarding OPEN seating. Moreover, my query was pertaining to OPEN seating on Southwest Airlines. Geeeeeez.
The IDB works very well in the hands of a WN GA. Thank you very much. If it is not broke U do not have to fix it.
You posted that before the post in this thread. I read what you were asking here as being about IDB not open seating. I answered your question about open seating so feel free to ignore what doesn't pertain to you. Also, your question has nothing to do with the subject of this thread. Just adds to the confusion.
