~CaJa's review of Southwest Airlines customer service

GetHuman: So how would you sum up your experience for GetHuman's Southwest Airlines customer community? We'll censor any IDs, numbers, or codes and any inappropriate words here out of respect to the millions of other customers using this resource.
~CaJa: Instructions above (* or Operator) no longer works. Pressing incorrect numbers (in an attempt to get a live agent) resulted in recorded message saying "transferring to an agent", but after waiting ** seconds or so, it disconnects and leaves you with dialtone. This happened twice, so no accident.
GetHuman: Let's quantify your experience contacting Southwest Airlines. On a scale of 1 to 5, how easy is it go get help on a Southwest Airlines problem?
~CaJa: I'd give them a four out of five for ease of finding your way to help.
GetHuman: What about quality of communication. How would you rate that on a 1 to 5 scale?
~CaJa: I'd give them a one out of five on communication.
GetHuman: And what about Southwest Airlines's ability to quickly and effectively address your problem?
~CaJa: For that I would say one out of five.
GetHuman: And finally- any advice for other Southwest Airlines customers?
~CaJa: Call them early in the day or late. Don't forget any personal or account information you might need for Southwest Airlines to know who you are.
GetHuman: Well there you have it. Some useful feedback and words from ~CaJa taken from his Southwest Airlines customer service problem that occurred on November 21st, 2017.
