As a shareholder and frequent passenger, I'm wondering how much extra revenue PAWS will contribute to the bottom line.
Southwest has made tremendous strides in going after the lucrative business traveler - but generally speaking, business travelers don't bring the family pet with them.
Why all the effort to attract a very small portion of the low-yield leisure segment?

Southwest has made tremendous strides lately and has therefore been very successful in attracting more business travelers who provide more revenue for the airline. Tell me, how many business travelers bring the family pet?
I cannot imagine that you have lost that much business because you refused to allow pets and, as mentioned above, it would be the leisure traveler and not the coveted business passenger.

I have flown extensively for business over the last 15 years, I have a pilot's license, and a degree in aviation safety and SWA has been and I predict will continue to be one of the safest and most successful airlines extant.
Those of you bed-wetting liberals who believe the media hype and political agenda and are now scared to fly SWA - good riddance to you. I will enjoy having more open seats that SWA can sell to level-headed, intelligent, and responsible people who are undoubtedly more pleasant to be around.
To "Tom" who posted on March 10 - you say that you don't wish to fly on 733 aircraft (737-300) because they are "old." It may interest to know that many of SWA's -300 series aircraft were purchased in the 1990's all the way up to their first delivery of a -700 which occurred, I believe, in late 1997. So, the majority of -300 aircraft are not old. Also, you might note that the proper designator for the -700 is 73G.
