The same thing happened to me EXCEPT they cancelled the second trip, not the first one. The reservationist was very nice, but it was a firedrill on the phone yesterday trying to get all of this corrected. For those of us who are frequent travelers (1-3 trips per month), this is not a good policy. The system should send you a warning email, letting you know that there is a discrepancy and give you a chance to change your flights yourself - not inadvertently choose which one it's going to cancel and send you a message several days later. I was infuriated but held off from posting on social media because I want to give Southwest a chance to make this right. They need to change this in their computer system so that it either immediately flags it in the system at the time of reservation, OR they send you a pre-emtive email, notifying you of the issue, and giving you 24 or 48 hours to fix it.
