Make that on hold for 1 hour and 22 minutes. This is simply unaceptable, not only does your flight home get possibly cancelled, but your entire morning is unproductive being on hold to find out if you can go home or not. Why doesn't SW have online chat?

Got notification this morning thru email of cancellation, but I could checkin online and still buy that ticket if I wanted to. I buy my tickets early because money is tight. The only available flight the next day is almost 2X the price I paid for the round trip. The bigger problem... I have been on hold with my cell for 35 minutes and when I try to use the other phone to leave a call back number so I don't have to sit on hold, the system tells me its a 65 minute wait and then keeps hanging up before I can input my number completely. In summary, I am stranded away from home, cannot attend my morning meeting because I cannot get through to SW, not sure if I have a ticket or not at an airport that is 2 hours from my current location and going to have to spend a bunch of money I don't have for expensive one way, additional rental car day and hotel and am afraid that SW isn't going to be very concerned about this. I am a new business traveler with SW. Do I need to go back to American?

If your father is elderly, I think you can ask to board early. As long as your boarding passes are in the A or B group, that should not be an issue. Usually all of the middle seats are open until the end of boarding so you can find the first available row with a window or aisle seat and the middle will be empty. Worse case scenario, you may have to ask someone to change seats. Lots of people won't, but there is typically someone nice enough to do so.
