One of the things I have liked about Southwest is that all the seats are comfortable. While I would always like more legroom, I never felt squashed, like I do when sitting in the back of other airline planes. Now that Southwest is planning to offer premium seats with more legroom, what happens to all the other seats? Unless Southwest plans to reduce the number of seats on the plane (unlikely?), then all of the other rows will get tighter. I hope this does not happen.

I hope to continue using Southwest, but I worry this is just one step towards being like everyone else. Southwest's own studies showed that open seating encouraged faster boarding. If assigned seats make gate times longer, will Southwest compensate with more fees elsewhere?
I like the atmosphere with open seating. I have seen groups of people rearrange themselves to help families sit together. I have not witnessed much of that behavior when flying with assigned seats.
