I just find it crazy that on SW you have to ask people if you could sit next to you. It's kind of annoying actually. I just like the simple seating assignments on every other airlines.
I called Frontier and explained what happened, they said they didn't have a crew to fly the plane (weather related), and didn't have anything to offer. I was shocked; I've flown with them so many times, never a problem, always an amazing service and then this. I started flying SW and I'm happy.
As far as the arrangement on SW, you line up in order of when you checked in and when you enter the plane you take whatever available seat you want. If you want to sit next to someone, you should make sure to check in early and check in together. You're not supposed to hold the seat for anyone because that defeats the whole open seating arrangement. I get really annoyed and frustrated when people hold seats for others that are behind me in order. I've flown with other people before and made sure we end up in a seat together and when there were no two seats together, we set apart. It's not the end of the world.
