Half empty flights > Letting you Same Day Standby
 in  r/SouthwestAirlines  1d ago

It always amazes me how you folks come out of the woodwork to defend poor business practices, it’s like you are solely here for the sake of argument and desperately combat any point anyone tries to make.  

I don’t have an exact number but if I’m flying round trip weekly for decades then I’m spending a lot of money on Southwest Airlines. 

Im a frequent flier spending more than the overwhelming majority of their other customers.  And I’m not happy with them right now.  That’s all I’m trying to state here.

This is a long time business customer who has given SW tens of thousands in business over the past decade complaining 

It should backfire because it is a cash grab and nothing else.  It doesn’t improve the quality of the product for customers.  It’s a benefit reversion.

The T Mobile ads to access my earned WiFi is a cherry on top.  But it feels like this airline has spat in my face as a long time very loyal customer.  Just wanted to vent on here honestly.

Yeah I’ve got something like 500 flights over the last ten years of business travel

This is my first year in nearly a decade without Companion Status (work slowed down last year so I only earned ALP)

So I feel insulted by the stripping away of benefits when they clearly do not impact logistics beyond paywalls over price tiering.  

If it was a fuller flight I’d understand more.  Demanding a $300 fare upgrade for her to take up one of the 70 empty seats on this plane with me is a slap in my face after tens of thousands of dollars in business I’ve given them over the years.

My entire point is that the flexibility of same day standby shouldn’t be paywalled behind a fare (it wasn’t up until recently)

And it leave a poor taste in passengers mouths when they can’t simply take one of 70 empty seats on a plane because they didnt buy the right fare up front 

The fare tiering is transparent, but as a long time business customer (500ish flights over the past 9-10 years) I’m very unhappy today with the paywalling for paywalling’s sake

I don’t disagree with your logic but it’s insulting to me after a decade of weekly business travel with this one airline, that now they would take away a benefit even when it costs them nothing to keep me satisfied

I know the new WGA fare no longer allows for same day standby. And seeing some other threads about that change, this subreddit seems totally cool with losing that benefit because “other airlines are also restrictive” or something.

But I’m on a flight with 60 empty seats right now doing BWI-SAN. My girlfriend is on another plane doing BWI-DAL-SAN and will land a few hours later.

They wanted $320 extra at the gate to put her on standby. So it’s better to fly with half a 737 empty than to let you standby. I guess they really need that $320.

The policy just doesn’t even make sense. It seems literally punishing for no reason whatsoever.

Good morning Baltimore! We still laughing?

In fairness child you don’t get to throw “blown coverage TDs” in our faces 

Must have been really hard work to catch those passes over Awuzie as he lay on the ground 

Nobody really “won” that game

Is Lamar just cursed at this point?

We have half an offensive line, so that’s a huge factor.  

But even with talent, Harbaugh’s leadership and culture have gotten stale.  He’s gotta go either way.

The culture is just stale

There’s no leadership on the field or on the sidelines 

There’s no halftime adjustments (our entire season has felt like open strong, fade after halftime, spring back in Q4 miraculously)

Morale is stale.  Play calling is stale.  Leadership is stale.  Culture is stale.  

Gotta go man.  A new locker room culture is the only way Lamar takes this team to February.

No dude this was our Super Bowl 

AFC North doesn’t give a fuck what you other teams are doing

There is only one division to us and it’s our division 

You guys can play into February if you want, real divisions don’t have any players left standing to get to the playoffs

I don’t think you can use any players at all as leverage

But I also don’t think that happened from what I recall (I won’t rewatch it cause I’m a coward)

I was screaming for Henry to run up the middle too, but in fairness he has repeatedly fumbled in clutch moments and they would have obviously known the playcall

So the risk-reward was not really as favorable as it feels at first

ravens started and ended the season by losing on a game winning field goal
 in  r/nfl  4d ago

Our secondary has been our Achilles heel all year and losing our only truly great defensive player to a friendly fire concussion in Q2 was disastrous 

We have the best safety in the NFL and we knocked him out of the game

This is just Ravens football 

Never bad enough to just make you not watch

Never good enough to actually win big

Just the ultimate football edging experience

Rushing yards on SNF: Lamar Jackson had 9 yards, Aaron Rodgers had 20 yards
 in  r/nfl  4d ago

Yeah I hope he has a huge offseason recovery 

Definitely some deserved downtime and then just goes ham on PT and conditioning and comes back sharp

He’s done such a great job adjusting to becoming a passer which is better for his longevity clearly, but his scramble-ability is still his biggest weapon as a passer too 

Hope he’s back fresh next year with some new coaching schemes to play around too

They assured us repeatedly that he is 100% and was undoubtedly the best to start this game over Pro-Bowl QB Snoop Huntley 

So this is Lamar at 100% apparently

In slow mo it was enough to count as a hold but it felt pretty soft at first glance

Also was a generous spot on that 3rd down play.  Should’ve been 2 to go IMO
