Same here. After the past several fairly recent flights my husband and I have endured with SWA, they're on my sh*t list now. I call SWA the "Greyhound Bus of the Air".
I’ve told my husband repeatedly NOT to book on SouthWest Airlines - I despise it.
Hate especially the open seating - we are always in the final boarding and have to sit rows apart in hated middle seats. Last time, we were the last to board and the “Flight attendant” had people raise their hands if there was an empty seat next to them. NO one raised their hand so the FA had to go down the aisle to find seats for us. NEVER AGAIN.
Ditto for Spirit and Sun Country airlines.
Maybe he’s doing this on purpose....
