LUV the new policy. I have a flight scheduled in a couple of weeks and look forward to the new experience. I can't believe that so many people are upset about the positive change. The field tests came back very positive and yet, people who haven't even tried it yet are complaining. Change is difficult even when it is positive because people are about to experience the unknown. Seriously though, I have NEVER been on a flight where family members with small children have not been able to sit together. It has always been my experience that SW employees go above and beyond in asking for volunteers to exchange seats with people who can't find ajoining seats to accomodate their children even during times when a parent arrives just as the door is getting ready to close. Be real people, give them a chance. After all, where are you going to find an airline with a better safety record, more attentive flight attendants, more informative pilots, less costly airfares and last but not least, they are all funny and entertaining....not to mention the free snack packs and peanuts. Try it out, and if you don't like it or it doesn't work out for you - complain at that time. Until then, take a moment to reflect and appreciate that you are flying the safest airline in the air.
