i agree with the majority of the users. The biggest reason I have used SWA almost exclusively over the last few years is because of the easy to understand frequent flier program, and the fact that I could get a free flight within a reasonable amount of time. Now, I will go with whoever has the most convenient schedule with the least number of stops. The short trips I take frequently are not going to be worth what they used to be.
Flying round trip ABQ to DEN I could get 2 credits (which appear to be worth 2400 points now). For those flights now, I'll get way less than 2400 points, because i always book far in advance to take advantage of SWA's excellent WGA fares.
This new system doesn't give me any advantage over any other system anymore.
