You just lost yet another customer Southwest. What you should have done is told the whole truth from the beginning (something you have failed to do with two "apologies" now) and stated some concrete steps that would be taken so that potential customers did not have to worry about fearing the wrath of some po'd Southwest employee. Anyway, so long Southwest, never flying you again, it's too risky. Jet Blue is much nicer anyway.
