Was there a consideration to possibly do a COMBO of Open Seating and Reserved Seating?  This would satisfy everyone and hopefully not lose passengers.   I see it like this:  The first 10 rows become reserved seating and those people pay a higher price.  This would be like first class, but not really, because they would be the same size of seats.    The rest of the plane would be open seating.   And, depending on how acceptable this is to the Southwest flyers, it could expand to 15 rows or shrink to 5 rows over time.   Everyone wins and we don't sacrifice the Freedom of Open Seating, and for those people that want to sit next to strangers in Reserved Seating, they have that option by paying more.   Please listen to us.   MANY of us LOVE open seating.   And we miss the Reverse Seats too.   By combining Open Seating and Reserved Seating, you aren't throwing the Baby out with the Bathwater.   Please don't become another Spirit or Frontier or United or Alaska.   Please?   Thanks. ...
