I'm voting to keep things the way they are for the reasons stated in many of the above posts. I also think that having no assigned seats and no first-class sections is safer. In this day and age of groups trying to down flights, I think it would be much more difficult to do on SWA. The bad guys can't know where they'll sit before they board, who they might wind up sitting next to, or hide their actions behind a first-class curtain.
I'm definitely no expert and I'm sure there are probably holes in my theory, but I really do feel a little safer flying SWA with no assigned seating.
I also love your crews - and I think that a flight attendant in khakis, a polo shirt and tennis shoes will be much more helpful to me in the event of an emergency than someone in a skirt, pantyhose and heels!
Keep up the good work!
