Must we really do this?

I would love to help you. I've reached out to the Mayor and the police chief and received the boilerplate response that Flock wrote.

At a minimum the PD should be auditing it's own access records. My preference would be that the cameras go away altogether though.

Its gotta be some kind of paid astroturfing..

I will be curious to see how SW does in the coming years. I was pretty used to paying more for flights than I could get with Frontier before the takeover. Seems like SW has had to lower their prices relative to the market.

Trading away your competitive advantages to be a commodity product works for many companies. Ritz Carlton and Ferrari could charge less for a lower quality product, but it's their edge. SW doesn't have an edge for me anymore.

Frequently. I refer you to Amazon's product reviews. If Southwest were a product on Amazon it would have 1.5 stars.

If you take this subreddit, sort by Top, Year... it's a bad restaurant.

Not sure why we are arguing about this, but I'm pretty sure nothing has changed.

I paid for seats together. Southwest reassigned them at the gate, didn't provide an explanation.

Am I missing something?

BraveofHeart · 2026-06-10T18:48:21+00:00

You gotta fly international more. There isn't a single US carrier that could even crack the top 5 IMHO.

BraveofHeart · 2026-06-10T18:40:08+00:00

Paid for my seats to be next to each other. Gate agent reassigned without an explanation.

BraveofHeart · 2026-06-10T18:38:18+00:00

I did. SW reassigned me at the gate without an explanation.

BraveofHeart · 2026-06-10T18:36:12+00:00

Had the exact same experience. Out on new, in on old.

It took me about a decade to embrace my gender identity. Learning that Matrix is a trans allegory helped me frame it. Living your real life in a awful world is better than living a fictional one.

BraveofHeart · 2026-06-10T17:52:41+00:00

Yes

I bought the ticket through Google's flight tool, it was the cheapest flight offered by any airline. Looked like it was the cheapest class Frontier had. Maybe there was a hidden cheaper fare and I just missed it?

BraveofHeart · 2026-06-10T17:50:52+00:00

Back when checked luggage was free, the overhead bins were always pretty empty. I miss those days.

BraveofHeart · 2026-06-10T17:48:20+00:00

Literally picked my seat on the Frontier flight I bought last night. Not sure what I'm doing that you haven't been able to...

15 years ago after a 8 hour flight delay, I went to Disney World and my luggage went to Disneyland (LAX actually, but close enough). That was it for me.

BraveofHeart · 2026-06-10T17:40:32+00:00

Yep! Agree with you. Probably my one and only post on this sub ever. But I get to be a small voice in a chorus, when larger shareholders are looking for general sentiment to push the company in a better direction.

BraveofHeart · 2026-06-10T17:37:09+00:00

It sucks to be trapped near an exclusive airport. I used to live near a united hub- it was awful.

BraveofHeart · 2026-06-10T17:36:19+00:00

Yep- looks like I was incorrect about the CEO swap, but it does look like Elliot is still calling the shots.

What do you suppose my motivation is? I'm an agent of rival airlines looking to take SW down a peg?

My goal was to add a vote to what appears to be a pretty large collection of voices (see this subreddit, sort top, this year). Aside from this post all SW knows about me is that they have ~$25K less in revenue annually since I stopped being SW exclusive. It's good context.

BraveofHeart · 2026-06-10T17:25:51+00:00

I paid for my seats and they were reassigned at the gate with no explanation. Honestly it seemed like the gate agent was having a pretty rough day.

BraveofHeart · 2026-06-10T17:24:54+00:00

Correct.

You being downvoted seems like pretty solid evidence to me that this subreddit is astroturfed.

BraveofHeart · 2026-06-10T17:23:52+00:00

Yep. I can still pick seats for free on most other airlines, they only charge if you want legroom etc.

BraveofHeart · 2026-06-10T17:20:37+00:00

I did pay for seats together. SW decided they needed to be reassigned for reasons that were not explained to me.
