There aren't any. But if you're flying on one of the SWA planes with the new torture seats (cardboard, non-padded, 1 inch "arm rests", no depth), then someone with too much bad perform might be a good distraction from the extreme discomfort of the "seat".

If you mean the new blue ones with the "adjustable head rests" - I cannot say enough bad about them. I'm short and thin. The people on the sides of me were thin. We bumped elbows and shoulders the entire flight. There are no armrests to speak of. There is NO padding - think cardboard. There is canvas instead of padding in the lumbar region, and the so-called head rest is not usable for anyone under 6'5". The depth of the seat is like a picnic bench: it cuts off our leg circulation, hittin your thighs at about mini-skirt length, and TILTS UP at the bottom, throwing your entire body off kilter. The new seats are so horrifically horrible that I will not be flying SWA again unless I absolutely have to - that, after ove 30+ years of ONLY flying SWA for my domestic flights, and I won't torture the family members I treat to flights, either. We're looking for an airline where people don't have to sit on torture "seats". Why not just have us all stand up, back-to-butt and shoulder to shoulder, with harnesses on? It might just be more comfortable. I'm still in pain from a flight under 4 hours yesterday.
