This is the smartest piece of reading material I have read in a long time. I guess the support of it will be according to which airline you work for.
Hey, thanks WNforlife, for posting this. I almost missed it. Without all the back and forth my airlines better than your airline, it would make for a great conversation.

From the article:
Southwest pretty much does that already. But for some unknown reason, the other airlines feel the need to "out-Southwest" Southwest. Or, in the case of Hartsfield, they try to "out Airtran" Airtran. Sorry he finds that other folks reasons to travel are not as important as his. Seems to me that if airfares were reregulated so that every airline made a profit, then the need of employees of other airlines would be reduced, since the demand for air travel just wouldn't be there.
I guess if I were an airline employee, I'd welcome the backpack toting, sandal wearing customer since their dollar spends just as good as Donald Trumps does. I also noticed that the writer didn't say where he was going, or how much he paid for HIS ticket. My bet is - it wasn't "full fare", and I'd also wager that the price he DID pay didn't cover the cost to fly him there. And if that were the case, and his suggestion were adopted, I'd wager we'd see a column on "The high cost of flying" sooner rather than later.
