I have been flying SWA 20 years. My uncle was a SWA pilot for 20 years and recently retired. I remember thinking about some of your strange policies in the beginning, but over time they have proven to work and make you the #1 airline in the business. As one blogger put it, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it." Please don't misunderstand the public's outcry . . . we can withstand change but this is truly a bad idea. The reason because of everything already written above. I just wanted to let you know that there are more of us out here that agree. Boo Hiss Hiss!!! Just say no to assigned seating. We like the cattlecall. We like the lines. We like choosing to sit by someone we want to sit by. We like moving from a seat when four screaming kids sit across the aisle from you. We like the option of getting an aisle or window seat when you just booked your flight 3 hours ago. We beg of you SWA brass here our voices. And thanks for the opportunity to raise them.
