I have no problem with calling in to fix a problem. It is when people call in right at the window and force the upgrade that gets to me. There is a pecking order even within each tier of preferred. Calling in ignores others that may be in front of you. The whole reason I refuse to fly Southwest is that I despise that whole having to call or check-in at exactly this certain time to be sure I get my seat. I do NOT want to have to monitor all my reservations to make sure I stay at the front of the line.

Here's hoping that if there is something wrong with the sweep (I'm not convinced there is) that it is fixed quickly.
