How come I’m no longer A-list preferred since SWA changed ev

How come I’m no longer A-list preferred since SWA changed everything? I’ve been a card member for years and now it’s like starting all over again. I’m sure this has been discussed but I’m just wondering how many people this has affected. What is the reason for this?

Answer as Justin Southwest Companion Pass to the MAX Ryan Johnson I was accidently logged into my wife's account while trying to book a flight to MSP. Saw a bunch of seats were available. When I switched over to my account all those seats were gone. I am A list preferred. What is this?! Take a look at the screen shots. Same exact flight, just A list vs non. You would think A list should be able to get the better seats.
