Hasn’t it been studied to show it’s faster than the traditional, assigned seat approach?

Yep. Which further supports M2s point lol. Ops observation isn’t consistent with the average, at least

Every airline boarding method has passengers who can't follow directions. I've seen plenty Delta Zone 1 passengers trying to board with Diamonds

2nd that I never fly it

Nope. I love southwest. Always get my aisle exit row and love that. Plus free drinks and my companion pass is insane with my SO and I since both our families live in US and not in our city so it allows us to fly to them more and also have more US and some international vacations

Are you sure it isn’t just you? IMO they have very efficient boarding process

Cattle class. Only available for every traveler on every plane on Southwest.

Obviously you never fly Southwest as the boarding process is based on status, then ticket price. Probably more organized than DL, UA or AA

That’s why I love my SW status. Always board A25 or earlier, get my window seat, and let the peons fight over the remaining seats and bin space.

like

Not everyone is a consultant to have status. It’s definitely not about me as I am an A-lister. There were some really older people struggling to find seats and a place for their bags. They were all going back and forth. It took them a good 50 mins to finish boarding. United or American would win any day over this mess.

Sometimes, yes. But you should know as a consultant not to use absolutes. There’s a commonly cited study that shows SW method is better on average

Hey all! Looking for recruiter/hiring manager input. My husband has been looking for work for several months now, with no leads. He left his career in construction staffing to help me focus on my travel career, allowing him to be home more often. BA in Marketing, background in logistics and project management, mostly. Zero call backs, except for entry level, minimum wage associate positions. Located in Florida. Is this a market/economy situation? Is his resume terrible? Any help is welcome!

My boss fired me because i ask for clarification on my employment right.

I got hired not long ago. I realise some of the employee benefits i was told (missing in the contract) contradict with what’s stated on the law. So i email the boss about it and ask for clarification. Immediately after the email i was fired.

Just want to make sure people know this and don’t apply jobs in this shady company- it is called UniQ Biotech, in Delta, BC, Canada
