In response to "I've flown Southwest a very limited number of times over the years. To those of you reacting negatively to the seat news, can you explain why?" by ty97

Right now all seats are (mostly) created equal

Aside from something like bulkhead or exit rows, you just grab the next available seat. To a certain extent, I could see the family with obnoxious kids and sit away from them. Additionally, I hate the stratification of seating on other airlines - you want to sit closer to the front, that's an additional fee. That doesn't exist with Southwest. And from a boarding perspective, everyone knows their place in line. With the other airlines, although you know your seat, there is a jostling for position within boarding groups so that you have access to overhead storage.
