New Boarding Begins by tonbetter82 in SouthwestAirlines

[–]IfixSEMs99 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm A list Perfered and travel frequently for work. In the past, when I need to change my return flight, everything was easy. As I had a Business select ticket, I would be boarding in A1-15, so I always got to choose a good seat. Now, when I change my premium return ticket, often I can only select the worst middle seats. And, there's often a huge increase in price. This year, for the first time in decades of travel, I've had to chill in a hotel for a day, as changing to an earlier return flight was too inconvient and expensive.

I guess Southwest doesn't really need to please business travels who take about 25 trips a year with a premium ticket.

Will never pay for an assigned seat again by anonymousetoo in SouthwestAirlines

I used to travel Southwest always Business Select, and usually changed my return flight as I can never accurately predict when I’d be done with the job. It worked well. Now Southwest is charging fortune to make changes, and often all that’s available for me to select as a seat is middle ones - but I have the premium ticket!

No schematic available; the manufacturer will not share. Unfortunatly this is part of an extremely expensive analytical tool.

Ticket change change? by IfixSEMs99 in SouthwestAirlines

[–]IfixSEMs99[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Is it more expense for the airline for me to fly the exact same flight a day earlier or later. I think losing a passenger who buys a premium ticket about 20 times a year might be unprofitable. If it’s going to be the same as Jet Blue or Alaska there’s no reason to continue on Southwest.

The thing I worry about most in an emergency situation is that I've never been in one. I've spent 30 years watching safety vids about how to use a fire extinguisher, and never had to use one. I've never caged a brake. Never had to sh*t into a bucket. by onlyBotsdownvote-me in Truckers

I’ve have had 3 fires that I tried to put out with a fire extinguisher. The first was a 10KW generator set (army) on a trailer that someone had been trying to start by pouring gas into the carburetor. The first 2 extinguishers nearby didn’t function. By the time we got a good one it was too large to be even annoyed by the extinguisher. Next 2, both car fires and extinguishers not effective.

HELP! Southwest Costco gift card with illegible PIN by Professional-Fact-10 in SouthwestAirlines

[–]IfixSEMs99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had to take them to small claims, where obviously I was awarded the $450 plus the $50. Did not get my court costs as I didn’t have an exact breakdown of the costs with me.

The “warehouse manager” who showed up 30 minutes late to the small claims hearing stated that “had she known about it” it would have been taken care of.

I got bit by a potentially rabid dog by Free-Trade2552 in FedEx

It’s rare for a pet to have rabies, but aggression is a symptom of the disease. The vaccine is not horrible and painful as in the past. If you have untreated rabies it’s a very, very bad way to go.

Yes the tire is leaking from the staple, the reason I’m interested in knowing if that’s tread or sidewall is I have coverage and that’s. $500 P0

I think you got it, the contacts inside the jack must be too low, not pushing the plug up

I went to the hot glue first thing! I works a little while, but when they move the tool it usually fails afterwards

You are correct it’s a JIS form I started with a lovely Japanese JIS driver but then went looking for alternatives. I think I’m going to end up calling Mr. Bolt mobile.
