They aren't competitive and lost everything that made them special.

Best strategy now is to take a different airline.

Seems like they’ve lost sight of what made them special. Since they are behaving like regular airlines now - why would I fly them?

like

I had the SWA Premier card for about 10 years but canceled it recently due to all the changes the airline has made. I don't feel the limited perks are worth the annual fee.

Also, with assigned seats, what purpose does Early Bird checkin provide?

In theory, overhead bin space.

Unless you’re in a hub it doesn’t make sense. I’ll keep flying them because there’s almost always direct flights where I need to go. Status gives me everything I would get from a CC (free bags, priority boarding, bonus points, etc.)

There is no competitive advantage anymore besides the amount of routes/flights at some airports. Their fares are pricey now, and their business select sucks. I do like the assigned seating change in the future.

Companion pass is last straw.

I see several posts from people asking how they can help during these times with a few extra $$$ to spend. Here is just one of many ideas.

#stepuptothetable is about helping local restaurants who are struggling during these times. I have seen numerous linkedin posts with videos where people challenge each other to step up to the table & buy meals & gift cards from their community restaurants. A great way for those of us who are more fortunate to support business & keep people employed.
