I am a huge SW fan but have started to encounter this problem more and more. Our last flight my husband and I got B27 and in the past have never had a problem finding two seats together. This flight we boarded the plane and went to the very last row before we could find two seats together. As we walked the length of the plane any two seats together were saved.....I saw people talking while waiting to board and heard them say "remember the plan...we will save the seat for you." So one person in the group paid for early boarding and the rest didn't. In fact two rows ahead of us a lady was saving two seats. Her husband and two kids boarded and she got up and gave up all three seats. She was an employee and she spent the airtime back with the flight attendants. I said something to flight attendant about saving seats and she said they couldn't do anything as there wasn't a policy for it. I wrote to SW and made a complaint and got a standard we are looking into this but at this time we want people to sit together. My point is if they want to sit together then they should board together and all get the early boarding or not. SW needs to take a stand so they don't alienate their loyal customers.
