Southwest is the best as long as you check in exactly 24 hrs ahead, have status, or pay for early bird checkin

Southwest is awesome. Most esp if a) noise canceling headphone b) a list preferred status that checks you in for you. #alwaysa16

That's funny. As a guy who has platinum on American, I fly southwest whenever I can. I find the passengers to be more chill and less corporate a-holes thinking they own the place. And the crews are generally in a better mood.

I generally have a worse experience purely due SW passengers. Seem to be a lot more screaming babies, smelly people, clueless people, and large people who try to put up the armrest

I have a third round interview this Thursday, but after I sent my availability, I booked a flight for work that is causing a problem.

Would it be a bad idea to say my availability changed and I can't do that time slot anymore? Or should I cancel / rebook my flight to later at night?

For context, I have unlimited PTO.
