If you read the FAQ, people are told they can buy 1 EB ticket for 1 passenger in your entire group. So basically, they are almost encouraging people to "save" seats. I feel badly for the flight attendants!
We fly SWA at least 4-5 R/T flights a yr. We have 4 in the next 5 months alone. I'm not bothered by not getting an exit seat, I am getting stressed that I will not get seats for my family together! I have always made it a point to check in as early as possible, usually 24 hours prior, in order to make this happen. So now I have to pay extra each trip to TRY and insure that we won't have a hassle finding seats or holding up the plane b/c others don't want to give up their seats so I or my husband can sit with our young children? (Which I have seen much too often lately on SW as it is) I'm going to have to look into JetBlue or other airlines now where I know are seats are together.
Very disappointed! Very bad business towards families!

For those saying it's an "option"....is it?? What if almost everyone on the flight does it but I don't for my family of 4? Are you going to sit next to my 5 yr old during the flight since I "opted" not to pay the extra fee and couldn't get seats together? Bad idea SW!!
