SW a few years back was better than it is now. I wonder why their service went down. Did their SW flying CEO quit? Their CEO used to fly his own airline just like a customer.

Southwest has had two CEO's since Herb. Also, they re-configured most of the planes with the "suicide" seat configuration, as you call it. The ones that remain are soon to be retired so Southwest decided to keep them as is rather than spend the money to reconfigure them so close to retirement.
Actually in the event of an aborted takeoff and hard braking I would rather be facing the rear like the front jump seats the flight attendants sit in. It's far safer.
