Once upon a time everyone entered the Southest system as equals. Even as we lined up and had "A list" envy, we all knew we could be A-Listers if we checked in on time. Leisure travelers and business travelers would enter side by side. The old motto of a free seat meant any open seat - no restrictions, no little asterisk, no 2 award tickets for 1 seat. A phone call to Southwest was almost a pleasure and Southwest was the only profitable airline in the USA.
