Saving Seats is WRONG and violates the open seating policy SW advertises

SouthWest Airlines purposefully avoids having a stated policy on seat saving to allow their slimiest customers to purchase single early access tickets and then "reserve" multiple seats for their travel companions. Despite the widespread abuse of this system, SW does nothing and in fact essentially encourages the behavior

This airline should be publicly shamed into prohibiting this behavior which clearly invalidates their claim that they provide "open seating".
