00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:03,760
Speaker 1: Come the end of January, Southwest Air's open seating policy

2
00:00:03,840 --> 00:00:07,560
Speaker 1: will be no more, replaced by assigned seating. Kathy is

3
00:00:07,600 --> 00:00:09,400
Speaker 1: flying out of Boston on Southwest.

4
00:00:09,680 --> 00:00:11,959
Speaker 2: I think it's good and I think it'll alleviate a

5
00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:13,440
Speaker 2: lot of like confusion.

6
00:00:13,880 --> 00:00:15,840
Speaker 1: Alam is flying home to Texas.

7
00:00:16,079 --> 00:00:17,960
Speaker 3: I don't see why we're changing it up.

8
00:00:18,040 --> 00:00:20,319
Speaker 1: And now there are some reports, including one from the

9
00:00:20,320 --> 00:00:22,680
Speaker 1: Wall Street Journal that says that the airline will be

10
00:00:22,720 --> 00:00:26,240
Speaker 1: implementing a version of the Wilma boarding system.

11
00:00:25,960 --> 00:00:27,360
Speaker 2: Wilma from the Flintstone.

12
00:00:27,560 --> 00:00:30,960
Speaker 1: No, not that Wilma. It's a moniker that stands for window,

13
00:00:31,120 --> 00:00:35,600
Speaker 1: middle aisle after the premium seats. All window seats would board,

14
00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:38,560
Speaker 1: followed by the middle and then last the aisle seats.

15
00:00:38,640 --> 00:00:39,600
Speaker 3: That'd be a lot better.

16
00:00:39,720 --> 00:00:41,640
Speaker 4: Honestly, I had to do that two days ago. I

17
00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:43,120
Speaker 4: had to ask the lady to get to.

18
00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:45,040
Speaker 3: My window seat because she was on the outer and

19
00:00:45,080 --> 00:00:46,080
Speaker 3: that was a whole mess.
