Ouch! Turd Brown? That would be Dersert Gold, thank you. Furthermore, the fleet is being redone in an attractive Canyon Blue.

Sorry your #1 Carrier is going through some rough times, Your Excellency. I'd hate for anyone from the World's Premier Carrier to ever have to suffer through a flight in one of our turd brown planes with our lower than life trailor trash customers and worthless employees. Only the red carpet for people of your stature and nobility.

Thank God WN is such a piece of crap Airline. You don't have to worry about them cutting into your market share. After all, if WN isn't good enough for you to fly on, why would be good enough for your customers?

The new color scheme is much better, but turd brown is so much more descriptive don't you think.

No Stature, No nobility here. You simply don't meet my requirements as a customer, PERIOD! case in point, does WN serve ANY of my last 5 destinations or my nexr itinerary? 1-PHL-GRR, 2- PHL-SNA (with only 1 connection), 3-PHL-PIT, 4-PHL-PVG, 5- PHL-TRI and first week in March PHL-MKE-ESC-ESC-MSP-PHL. Now after you can't get me where I need to go, you make me arrive early to get an A boarding card, offer no US Airways Club for me to work in, no big seat to sit in. The above is strike 1,2 & 3 for me business wise. If I am going someplace on the cheap on my own dime, SWA still currently is a 3 hour vs a 1 hr drive (PHL vs BWI) plus to the west coast it takes 3 segments in most itineraries I've checked. For where I want/need to go WN just doesn't work for me on ANY level. I have attempted to use them several times! I wanted to see what all of the fuss was about, but I can't make it work, lowest fares are myth. I can always do better on ATA or Spirit and I get an assigned seat to boot, plus on Spirit I can buy a bigger seat if I chose. WN offers me NOTHING, clearly WN works for others not me.

WN is not a piece of crap airline. They do NOT meet my requirements on ANY level. I admire the fact that WN has done a terrific job of snookering the flying public into automatically thinking WN has the lowest fares when in fact they are the lowest only 26% of the time. WN does a fabulous job of managing customer expectations, NO ONE does that better. US could take lessons from WN in that aspect.

Trust me I know that. US despite it's many wonderful people is imploding, You hit the nail right on the head. If things don't change they're gone.

Wow Bob! You sound very bitter towards Southwest. You don't even fly them for all the reasons you stated. But I get a few things from your post here. #1 you don't seem to care about your company. Wht? Because when they are paying you fly on the carriers of your choice. When it comes time to spend your own dollars well then you do look to use a LCC (whichever one it might be). #2 you never did answer the questiopn which was posed to you. What if your company did tell you to fly LCC. Any company at anytime could go south and lose money. So what would you do if told to fly a LCC?

I can always do better on ATA or Spirit

So you are saying that ATA and Spirit fly to more destinations than Southwest? I would like to know where you travel to on your own dime. I think I could find you many flights with only 1 stop to and from your destination.

I would not call it snookering. But I do agree that Southwest is not always the cheapest. They do offer, and always have, a fair price on tickets to everywhere they fly. Take a look at Wal-Mart (but I am sure you don't shop there). Wal-mart has in the past beaten the competition on price and they have the customers believing they are always the cheapest. Truth is they do not always have the best price either. But they have charged a fair price for so long people look there first when shopping.

I know Southwest is not for everyone but USair, United, JetBlue, American and the rest are not for everyone either. If there was one airline that suited everyone then there would only be one airline in the industry.

We match their fares on the flights that are in direct competition with WN (similar times). Let WN fill the plane at $29.

Have you ever tried to get one of those "29 dollar" fares? They make it sound great, but they sell their seats like all other airlines. They might have 3 seats at that price.

Wal-mart may be the cheapest and that is the operative word. You get what you pay for. Wal-mart suckers you in thinking your getting a great deal, only to find out they sold you a piece of junk that you end up replacing the next week. Pay the price and get it right the first time.

I would if you could tell me just exactly what I get for "paying the price" on another airline that I don't get on LUV for a lower price? Trip to Europe? Doesn't do me much good when I just paid you to go to Omaha. First class seat??? Doesn't make much difference to me...the plane gets there at the same time.

If I pay $50 on SWA and someone else pays $65 on another airline to fly the same route...what exactly are they getting that makes the extra $15 worth the money?

If it's a US Airways Airbus I'd get laptop power in the seat.

That's worth a little something to me. Not $1,500 but the $15 in your example is certainly covered.
