I agree with you. Unfortunately SW is the only airline that flies direct to Orlando from our local airport. We continue to fly SW for that reason. We have flown SW to Orlando on 16 separate trips. I cannot remember a trip where there was not seat saving. I am so surprised how many people say they have never seen it. We always purchase EBCI for our family of four and have gotten an A position every time, except once. Even with boarding early we always encounter seat savers. We just go to the back so we can sit together. It is just very frustrating to see people with things spread out over the seats. I am glad they enforced the family boarding rule. I constantly see them let entire families board during family boarding, grandparents, etc. One trip we saw a family of 16 (in matching shirts, that is how we knew they were family) board during family boarding. I don't know if it is because I have only flown SW to Orlando if it is that way because there is so much family traffic. I wonder if it different flying to other places.
I've flown Southwest many times, with the most recent being less than a month ago, and I can't recall any seat saving.
