The market will decide whether WN sinks or swims with the new changes. And if the above social media posters dont like it , they can take their business elsewhere. WN is not pointing a gun at their head and asking them to fly. WN is a business and theyw ill do whatever is the most beneficial for them, and I as a customer will do whats the best for me and vote with my wallet. Simple as that , constant cribbing serves no purpose honestly.
Your theory only works in perfect competition which there is not in the airline industry (and not in just about every other industry). Too many mergers and the constant pressure to please Wall Street with double digit growth necessitates any remaining players to move in lock step, raise prices well above "inflation" and sneakily shrink or remove services "shrinkflation".
Perhaps the FA's are annoyed about being the policeman of assigned seating, not sharing in the obviously new revenue, are pissed about the new culture and are "working to rules" in silent protest (e.g. sit in your assigned seat and shut up)?
