Southwest 'Small Plane' Commercials

[crashpad]

I'm curious what you guys think of Sws' new 'small jet' ads? I think they're funny, but also realistic and wonder what impact they will have, if any, on the regoinals.

You don't attack something unless it is having an impact....SWA doesn't fly to PIA, TRI, MGM, GNV, FAT, RAP, FNT, etc....

When SWA flies to these cities, then they will have a point..... until then, they are blowing smoke....

The 50 seat cabin sucks, but then I don't see many SWA 737s in most RJ cities....

I'll take an RJ over the cattle call of flying swa any day.

Had to airline on them last week. It nice to get a reality check every once and a while and know that show "airline" really does show the best of the travelers.

they're hilarious! anyone have a link?

 

[DX Rick]

Yeah, tell me how big that "big jet" feels when you're stuck in the middle seat, next to a 400lbs guy eating a sandwich.....while he sweats.

About the same as I feel sitting next to that same guy on an RJ when he's got the aisle and I'm in the window seat.

A little old lady sitting next to you on an RJ, can feel like that 400lbs guy.
The seat back comes up to my armpit when I'm sitting in back.

You're not Luke, are you?

I've yet too see one of these commercials. I've searched youtube but couldn't find anything. Anyone got a link?

And sitting in the middle seat of a 757 or a 767 is no different when it is full.

It's a sad world when a 737 is considered "a big, comfortable, roomie airplane" I remember traveling as a passenger pre-rj days, sitting in the boarding area when our plane pulled up to the gate and thinking, "damn a 737".

Indeed, bragging about a 737 seems silly.

Row one seat A in a 1st class section of an RJ is the only place I've ever found bearable for civilized beings.....but you still end up like a convict in a jetway lineup waiting for the carry-ons afterward.

 

[Radiohofo]

Still, the commercial is funny and tries to make a point.
Spinning the wheel of fortune and hearing, "Come on big plane, big plane!" is the comedic commentary of today's road warriors travel woes. I don't care who you are, thats funny right there...

Southwest and ASA's 70 seater share a lot of destinations; Airtran does also.
