I am a fan of both Southwest and Frontier airlines. Rarely do I fly with another carrier. BUT, I do feel that of the two, Frontier's service is a few notches above Southwest. I would hate to see the offerings of DirecTV and inflight meals disappear with an acquisition by Southwest. I also love being able to reserve my seat upon booking my flight online with Frontier, which cannot be done at Southwest, who still uses an antiquated seating process. If the combined carrier can keep the DirecTV, meal offerings, and Frontier's reserved seating process, I'm all for it. One other thing: If the merger does occur, I would suggest that the new airline be called "Frontier", since Southwest doesn't really only fly only in the southwest anymore. I would also hate to see those animals go away from the aircraft livery.
