Well Southwest, here I am again, just wanted to let you know I sat down to book a round-trip for my sister to come visit and for me to fly back with her to take my regular business trip.
Well, you are charging $205 for a roundtrip from San Jose to Orange County and American is charging $163. That is a savings of $80 on two tickets, and we get to pick our seat and not worry about being a crazy person running to a computer to check in.
I am saying goodbye to high prices for less value and service. I can get treated just as badly on American and pay less.

Just wanted to add to my post above. My check in exactly 24 hours ahead for my flight produced A-31 for OC to San Jose and A-41 for San Jose to OC. The wierd thing is as I talked to people in line, the guy behind me checked in two hours before the flight and got A-42, and a woman who is a frequent A-List flyer got A-54(checked in 18 hours ahead of the flight)...not sure how the numbering works.

Took my first flight last week since the changes, OC to San Jose. I fly 10-14 times per year, my kids both fly the same but not enough to be an A-List. The way the boarding passes are handed out is wrong. I pay the same price for the same flight and have to board behind the A-List business flyers. I need to book a flight for Jan and Mar, just checked American airlines. I can fly for $30 per flight cheaper and have an assigned seat by the window!!! Once I use up my two free flights (don't know if I will ever be able to book them though...) My 3 flyers as well as my sisters brood of 6 will all be switching to other airlines.
Southwest, you have taken away the things we loved. Oh and by the way...sit back and relax before your flight is called...that is a pipe dream as 100+ people fight for the 25 seats left in the seating area at San Jose since all the seats were removed to expand the boarding area!!!
Later days Southwest
