Airlines like Southwest have no first class. And Southwest lets you pay for priority boarding, so it stands to reason they could cook up a scheme for letting people pay for priority exiting.

Pay for priority boarding and sit at the front of the plane?

But, unfortunately, no free drinks to be sloshed and passed out by the time wheels come up. So it's like first class without the raison d'être.

And of all the airlines that necessitate being drunk to cope, Southwest is fairly high on the list.

right, so in other words, you're still flying the cheapest possible airline, yet claiming you'd pay good money for well-established privileges that are already available for good money on the open market on pretty much any non-budget carrier.

when it comes to luxury, you have to pay to play, and those who don't pay, don't play. end of story. you're competing with humans for space and time, it's going to be expensive if you want to be given special treatment.

I think you could take that another step forward and say Airline like Southwest have no class at all :)
