...any other airline? They wouldn't and shouldn't. Now granted, I'm bias since I actually used to work for SWA (decided to pursue other career interests - I was young), and because I only fly them - but there's just no comparison. True, other airlines may: Fly to additional and more exciting/exotic international destinations - but considering that you go back just 7+ years ago when SWA didn't fly to ANY international destinations, and look how far they've come. Give 'em time Have a first class cabin - but then again, how many of us, even on this forum, can afford a first class fare these days? Thus, who cares/moot point Have airport lounges - kinda the same point as above - you'd have to spend some serious bucks to earn a pass - and do you really enjoy 'hanging out' in an airport these days? Use several equipment (aircraft) types - meaning you could end up on a tiny, crappy regional jet - or worse...boarding a REALLY long 757. The 737-700 and -800 are pretty nifty in my book I could go on, but I truly can't stand the polyester clad, stuffy, always annoyed staff of the legacy carriers, their policies, their fees, their lack of customer service/care, and their uncomfortable airplanes.
