I would suggest reading http://www.southwest.com/html/... Key parts are:

At Southwest, we have a quick, easy, and efficient boarding process. First, check in to get assigned a boarding group (A, B, or C) and a boarding position (1 - 60). The earlier you check in, up to 24 hours prior to your flight, the earlier your assigned spot in line will be.

and

An adult traveling with a child four years old or younger may board during Family Boarding, which occurs after the “A” group has boarded and before the “B” group begins boarding.

His children were 6 and 9. He was also a frequent traveler of SouthWest and a "Line Leader"

If you want to guarantee that you’ll be one of the first to board, buy a Business Select fare to get an A1 - A15 boarding position.

What he was trying to do is to get his children (who had tickets in the B group) to board with him as part of the A1-A15 group. What he could have done was pay an additional amount on their fares to board with him:

When available, Upgraded Boarding allows you to secure an earlier boarding position in the A1 - A15 boarding group for just $40 per flight.

What's more convincing is his story. "programmers with no experience in security, totally fucked up the security," is a significantly more believable scenario then "programmers with no experience in security, and no history of fraud, purposefully designed a security flaw into our system specifically so they could exploit it." The fact he found a hundred million or so in BTC under his couch further increases the first story's credibility, because if you're good at security you don't do that shit.

The bit of "and no history of fraud" got me and reminded me something I read else-web. In an interview tin Mark Karpeles (google tanslate):

Il quittera la capitale un peu vite, accusé, selon nos informations, de fraude informatique.

He left the capital quickly after being accused of computer fraud.

I would certainly encourage people not to take my word for it and do some searches ("Karpeles fraud France" is a good one). You might wish to reconsider your conditions on the second option.
