I DON'T fly Southwest primarily because of the "open seating" policy. I am happy to pay an additional 20% for this service and I'm sure SWA would enjoy making extra income.
One of the primary reasons I don't like this policy is the "herd mentality" you acquire when you stand in a Southwest line. I have to stand in line getting my ticket, going through security AND now 45-50 minutes BEFORE the flight just to get a "A or B" seat - heaven forbid if you get shamed into the "C" line.........
I pay good money to fly, not spend close to an hour BEFORE even getting on the plane standing in line like a kid in school........
Life's a choice, I choose to spend my money AND time wisely when I travel, not standing in line like cattle to save $20.......
