Has anyone recently flown Southwest? Curious how they’re handling seating. Are they still cramming people in?

Flew to Chicago last weekend. Middle seat was open both ways. However, they were willing to put people in the middle seat. It depends on how full the flight is. I got an email saying the middle seats may be occupied for the return trip. They weren’t, but there was a possibility, and they communicated that.

No more open middle seats on flights that I flew last month. One leg was sold out, in fact. SW customer service was very transparent about number of seats left when I called the day before the flight to ask. SW also sent an email the week of the flight indicating that they longer held middle seats open. There are some pretty clear documented instances of people spreading covid in flight so I was not entirely comfortable on the sold out flight.

M/SM and above, why do you label a meeting as “touch point” or ask if you can have a “quick chat” when it’s something serious? Millennials like us always assume we’re about to get fired - I actually have been laid off in a meeting with that title. But at my new job, my boss asked for a “quick chat” to literally ask me to change the title of a meeting and then chat about christmas. Now that I’m in management, I want to understand it better.
