Not so sure about #1, especially for flights less than 3 hours. I actually like their rocker back seats so no jag-off can trap you for the duration of the flight.
It has happened to me on MORNING flights and isn't fun.
I don’t think Southwest seats go back far enough to trap people, and I’ve flown them many times. More like a few inches, 4 at most, but helps big time to prevent being crunched-in.
