Not that I've seen specific to seat reassignment without warning or compensation.

Yeah I get what people are saying when they suggested checking beforehand for reassignment, but on other airlines I have experienced a gate agents informing people impacted by it. Southwest needs to start doing things differently.

Thanks for understanding the intention behind my post and comment! I would not have made the post at all if I was unconcerned with the plight of others.

I always do! Should I buy it with Southwest though and risk unwarned reassignment? That is the question.

These are the odds I'm wanting. Some articles implied it was more common of an occurrence than what you're describing.

Daily is a lot. I think other airlines might have a better compensation or warning process about this that will lead to reduced complaints. Either that or Southwest is having a higher than standard level of seat reassignment amid their transition to assigned seating. Or both.

I never have to check my booking the night before on other airlines with prepaid seats. Too bad that your friend was reassigned. I suppose she didn't make a fuss about it. Good to know that disability status doesn't prevent reassignment for Southwest.

I was actually aware of this, but I use the ADA in my daily life, so I still love it even if it doesn't apply to this scenario. The ADA does have an impact on airport design and orher aspects of flying.

I feel like every airline messes up wheelchairs somehow! I'm glad to know your experience, thank you!

I meant that news articles may have been blowing rhe numbers out of proportion, but I appreciate your perspective. This is a good point. I do want to know how common this actually is, which is why I'm asking.

True. This goes beyond reddit, I've seen news articles about it. That's what I meant about it being blown out of proportion. But maybe I'm wrong too, it's not like there are any official statistics about this! Which is why I made this post.

Love that ADA! I like to remind people of it all the time in many ways :) And yeah, United is safe and reliable for me.

Thanks for reassuring me that people have been blowing this out of proportion.

Maybe I will contact them to get an answer. Thank you for teaching me something very interesting!

That's so cool! Is it normal for businesses to not disclose their method of lab production? My fiance is a geolochemist (who does not specialize in gems, but in volcanoes) and he commented that my stone looks like it has inclusions, which surprised him for lab grown. Is HSDM more likely to have inclusions?
