Gary, as a weekly flyer of Southwest, I HATE HATE HATE the idea of assigned seating. One of the many
charms of flying Southwest is you can find total strangers while waiting to board, and then being lucky
enough to find someone interesting who you actuallly WANT to sit next to. No screaming kids, no middle
seat if you are smart enough to print your boarding pass online (hello, that's one of the reasons you guys
are the most successful in getting your customers to print online, saving you big time cash !), and always being
able to sit at the back of the plane. My biggest question to you is this: Why in the world would you want to copy
the business practices of your failed and failing competitors ? You are basically the only successful airline in
the country, and that is because from the beginning you have strived to be different. Please do not take away
those things that make me pick YOU over the competitors. If I wanted to fly Delta or United, I would book them.
The next thing you know, I'll be reading about your considering changing your Rapid Rewards program. STOP
STOP STOP ! Be SOUTHWEST AIRLINES, not your miserable competitors !
