Can I just vent on how annoyed I am with the increase in “priority boarding” of people that are able bodied? I am happy to let them on first. But I think they should get off last. So many times they are limping or in a wheelchair boarding. And then when we land that are the first to jump up and scurry off. Just not ethical.

I agree. And might be a little insensitive but if your are overwight. By choice and not medically incapacitated you dont need a wheelchair and early boarding. And then as soon as we land i see you running towards the krispy kreme stand

I am back at the airport again today standing by the gate agent. This very able bodied person asked the agent how she can pre-board. He asks if she needs assistance down the jetway. She says no I just need extra time getting settled. He asked her seat assignment. She is in the last boarding group. So they are letting her go after the first group. WTH? And then she asked if her cousin could help her. He then side eyed her and said um NO! Thank you gate agent. Finally a little pushback.

Other than in southwest I don't even get the appeal of pre boarding. You just have to sit there longer waiting on everyone else.
