Especially now that they have different premium seating configurations? Has it happened to you a lot of late?
My own experience is I have not seen a lot of swaps....but I tend to fly transcons. As far as up and down the west coast I have learned to never trust the app or "flight details" feature. You never really know what you are flying until it pulls up to the gate. I have had numerous occasions where the flight was listed as an 800 and a 400 pulled in, same with a 900 and 800.
