I have very mixed feelings about these changes. As a customer who travels with Southwest at least once every 6 weeks, I feel that my business is being deprioritized in favor of those travelers who use Southwest infrequently and at the last minute. I give you repeated business very dependably and in advance.
It's extremely helpful for me, rather than confusing, to see each of the fare buckets available as opposed to being left guessing in the dark.
I don't mind the new boarding procedures, but they do mean that Southwest will have a much more serious problem with websites that check people in and acquire boarding passes for passengers.
I also do welcome the 'double rapid rewards' option, because it doesn't take away any flexibility that I already have, and provides an (admittedly very costly) option for travel when all award buckets are used up.

I think I'm going to go with Southwest on this one.
Just to put some things into perspective, I'm female, and 20 years old. I fly on average about once or twice a month, with 80% of my flights on Southwest. I /never/ would wear the same clothes that I'd wear out clubbing on an airplane flight.
Wearing too-short miniskirts and refusing to cover up on an airplane creates a sanitary hazard, result in indecent exposure, and are simply inappropriate to force other passengers to endure.
Whatever happened to common sense and respect? This doesn't seem like discrimination so much as making an overblown fuss out of a very minor incident and exploitation of the media for public attention.
