The simple solution is to make those in wheelchairs board last.

Seat the wheel chair boarders in the rear of the plane. Tell them it is so they will have easier access to the rest room. They will have to wait to deplane, though. I am sure that the people, who were assigned this seats won’t mind mind switching.
First, the people who ask for a wheelchair just to board early are scumbags. Second, it would not matter if the baggage limitations were enforced. It doesn’t matter when you get on the plane as long as there is space for you to put your carry-on above your seat.
Why? You don’t get there any sooner.
A wheelchair is overkill. A cane or a boot work just as well.
Bunch of lazy fat pigs. I was coming back from Germany and landed in Denver. These fat pigs were pushed one after another to the head of the line for the immigration / customs line. It must have delayed the line by an hour and security warned we sheep to keep quiet when people were complaining about it. I have flown all ofer the world. The US has the worst international airports by far.
Not just Southwest
I’ve flown once since 9/11.
Prior to that, I flew all the time for work. 12-14 times a year - total travel time from home to hotel was 14 hours. 3 airports, one international. I had the system down pat, there was a 45 minute time to connect between US and international. Of course the two airlines were at the complete opposite ends of the airport, which meant I had to grab my luggage (always overhead), deplane, and get to the terminal, including customs in time for my connecting flight, or wait 7 hours. There were assigned seats at the time, which I always took row 1, 2 or 3. I didn’t care which order the boarding was, I had to get off the plane and practically run to make my flight. I didn’t want to wait for families or for fat people to waddle off the plane. Never used the carts, I was faster.
The rules were simpler, didn’t have to take off shoes, etc. I could never make those connections now. I’m so glad I don’t have to fly anymore. Just another thing the government has screwed up.
First of all if these are scamers or Karen's then a simple solution would be to require all such early boarders to remain seated until the last person out of the plane clears the jet way. That would take something like a tag on any carry on luggage that flight attendants could confiscate if they try to get off early or a tag on their seat prior to landing.
Now let me tell you (as Paul Harvey would say) the rest of the story. My wife is 73 years old and has some mobility problems. In particular if she stands for a long period of time without moving she has a hard time with her balance. So if we have had a long check in line at the airport to check luggage, spent a long time going through TSA or customers/immigration, she needs to use either a cane or get a wheel chair. After exceptionally long lines, she has had to call for a wheel chair, usually on international flights.
Boarding is usually much more of a problem than leaving the plane, if she has been able to rest and has decent leg rooms so she can move her feet.
So, to some extent I can understand that the exact number of people who used wheel chairs to board may not exactly match those needed to leave the plane, but it should not as different as reported.
I loathe such women. And I loathe how most of them vote.
