DALLASSaying the decision had been reached following an extensive internal review of the companys boarding procedures, Southwest Airlines confirmed Tuesday that passengers would now be assigned chores ahead of time. There has always been a degree of chaos around passengers having to choose right as theyre boarding how theyre going to help keep the plane tidy, said Southwest representative Martin Nieman, explaining that the airline hoped to streamline the task allocation process by randomly appointing responsibilities at the time of check-in. For instance, everyone in row 18 might now be in charge of trash on this flight, while those in the fire exit rows will push the beverage cart. Chore assignments will be clearly printed on all boarding passes for ticketed travelers 2 years old and above. Those flying standby may refer to the chore wheels posted at fore and aft of the plane. Of course, you will have the option to pay extra if you want a more comfortable job. Nieman asked flyers frustrated about being on bathroom duty to be patient, stressing that everyone who flew with Southwest would have to take on the unpleasant task eventually.The post Southwest Airlines Begins Assigning Chores appeared first on The Onion.
