The interesting thing about this is that SWA is trying to squeeze $50 per round trip out of business customers just for the privledge of getting an A-group boarding pass. The reality is that most business travelers already get A-group boarding passes because they are accustomed to manually printing their boarding passes 24 hours before their flight (or, like me, they use one of the automated boarding pass services -- my favorite is http://www.checkin4me.com). Given that there are 60 A-Group seats, I can't see people getting much advantage out of spending the extra $50. Personally, I would rather subscribe to an automatic service and take my chances (for $60/year).
