I agree. And I don't think it poses a real problem if a very small percentage do this. The problem is when instead of paying Southwest $10 for Early Bird a large group uses this guy. I find it wonderful that I don't need to pay a premium for an exit row or aisle seat, unlike other airlines. I'm openly biased toward Southwest, but only because they've earned it.

And if too large of a group uses it then some will start paying the $10.
