I flew earlier this week, and every aspect of social distancing was in play... Check-in, Waiting area, middle row of seats unused... masks on everyone. UNTIL THE PLANE landed, at which point it became a sardine can when everybody jumped up and retrieved their bags from the overhead bins and planted themselves on top of each other in the aisle waiting for the door to open (10 minutes) so they could deplane. Since a chain is as strong as it's weakest link... let's quit the charade and let things get back to normal.

Right this second... DL1883 on your FR24 shows departing 15 minutes late.... Yet everybody else has shown the correct delay for quite some time: 31 Oct 2018 Atlanta (ATL) Orlando (MCO) B752 (N546US) - 8:55 AM - 10:24 AM Estimated departure 9:10 AM And everybody else shows the actual 1hr and 5min delay... 36 minutes ago! Updated 35m 59s ago ATL MCO Atlanta · Wed, October 31 Orlando Intl · Wed, October 31 Estimated departure Terminal Gate Estimated arrival Terminal Gate 10:00 am S A4 11:32 am B 78 Scheduled departure 8:55 am Scheduled arrival 10:24 am Maybe you should stop acting so arrogant and accept the fact that they all have their limitations?

If you are insinuating that the racist rant by the (assumed) UK citizen, is in anyway similar to a Trump supporters mindset, you are a bigger ass than the man in the video. This isn't FaceBook, and I would suggest that you keep your opinions to yourself regarding American politics on this site. Have a nice day...

I am always misunderstanding that the title of the thread actually has nothing to do with the comments that follow. Sorry!

And that has what to do with flight tracking?

I run an airport shuttle service, and track flights all day, every day. FlightAware almost always beats the others for accuracy. Every once in a while, FlightAware will miss one... but it is very rare!

I had to fly an employee to a meeting last week, I have hundreds of thousands of United miles... so, if I used my miles and just paid the processing fee for the CLE to MCO flight, It would have cost me $12 more than flying on Spirit... which is what I ended up doing. The United miles are a joke anymore with their crazy routes for the return on a round trip, by intention for sure!

I totally agree! I compare it to "toll" happy roads in Florida, if I use the road, I should be paying for the road. Can't argue with the concept. Same thing with the "add-on" pricing model in airfares... Why should I pay more the same amount for my ticket with a laptop bag carry-on as the person that has 2 checked bags and 2 more carry-ons plus their computer bag? Same with food on a 2 hr flight... It is nice to know it is there if I want to purchase it, but very happy to not pay for it and consume nothing. Unless you are flying Frontier or Spirit, picking your seat, and checking 1 or 2 bags... Southwest isn't even close in price anymore.

EZPass, sunpass, and other transponders already do that to a degree... Along with license plate reading cameras on every corner... and in the near future, some states are already testing GPS tracking for a "tax by mile driven" initiative they are salivating over...

I am amazed that Southwest finds this an acceptable practice... If I was at Disneyworld and got in line for a ride and much later 5 friends came thru the line to join me, I would be REMOVED from the line, possibly the park. And Southwest charges a fee for early boarding? Where's the logic in allowing this? If I buy a front row seat at a concert, I can save the seats all around me for my friends that DID NOT buy a front row seat?
