I would like to respond to the message about rapid rewards. I fly with many different airlines and am a member of many frequent flier programs. Even though southwest has seat restrictions with rapid rewards, they did do away with all black out dates. Also, whenever I book flights with my frequent flier tickets the seats have almost always been available for booking. On other airlines the seats are hardly ever available and they also have blackout dates to go along with the seat restrictions. Brian, I think you and I both know that southwest still has the best frequent flier program when you compare it to other airlines. I don't think it makes good business sense for any airline to allow unlimited seating for passengers using frequent flier tickets. Revenue is hard to come by in today's market and they have to limit seating to stay competitive with other airlines. Rapid rewards is still #1 in my book.
