Most Loved Airline in the U.S.

[canyonblue]

It's called "Assigned Seating," all the other airlines have it.

If you want to sit together, you just purchase your seats next to
each other.

If you have ever bought seats on an airline besides Southwest, then you would know that they attempt to sell ALL of their seats. What happens when the only seats left on a seat map are the center seats? I guess we all sit next to each other only in a vertical sense. Have you ever bought full fare tickets in your life? You have about the same odds of sitting with a family member on Southwest, than you do on any other airline. If you are in the first 60 people to board a Southwest flight, then you will be able to sit next to a family member. If you are in the first 60 people to purchase a ticket on a Delta flight, then you will be able to sit next to a family member, unless you purchase the BASIC ECONOMY Fare, then your seat is assigned at check-in. I really have to explain this to you? FU(K!!! how stupid are you?

Maybe your Mom will let you go up and meet the pilots next time you
fly.
Maybe they can explain it to you.
She's probably embarrassed that you can't complete a paragraph without
using the "F Word."
But if you come up to the flight deck and talk like that I'm gonna throw
you and your mom off the plane!

Punks that have no intellect or
education need to throw out the
"F-Bomb" in every sentence.

Just tired of these kids that come on here an
talk nonsense.

 

[BILL LUMBERG]

Canyon has his lips firmly attached to the LUV koolaid funnel. He takes it super personal when somebody points out his airlines shortcomings.....we all got em, but he gets sensitive.

How can anybody rationalize an open seating plan being better than assigned seats for putting families together?

Dropping F bombs and general petulence is what we come to expect of him.

Some love it, some hate it, just like anything else. There is a broad base of customers out there and they all have different wants and needs. Any way you look at it, the numbers speak for themselves. Southwest carries more domestic passengers than any other airline so there is more demand for SWA's product than any other US airline, even with what you consider to be flaws in the system.

I can tell you this, a couple of weeks ago I was chatting with one of the chaperones for a group of approximately 75 students taking a trip to Washington DC. She confided that the group chose Southwest specifically because of the lack of seat assignments. The kids were very excited to sit with whom they desired, be that friends or family members rather in a seat that was arbitrarily assigned.

All true points.....

Except the part about tipping your hat about the most domestic passengers....nobody cares. This is a tired argument. I'm not trying to be antagonistic, but that is a like bragging about being the best High school football team in American Samoa.

The facts are, you carry more people on much much shorter stage lengths, (cue GL with an LBB reference....j/K) hence you hold that title.

Not tryin to piss in your wheaties, but that's a very poor analogy. I spent time there in the eighties, and there were 2 high schools. Those kids played with an intensity and ferocity I have never before witnessed in high school football, the last game of the season (The playoffs/championship) was attended by every college scout west of the mississippi. There's a reason there's a very high number of Samoans in pro football.

 

[BILL LUMBERG]

Well played Fred!

That's laughable Bill. You didn't even understand how many passenger we carried until recently. You thought SW was a minor carrier compared to DL. We care almost more passenger than you do domestically and internationally....combined!

But hey, that's like high school football!

 

[BILL LUMBERG]

Red,

Like the sun rising you always take the bait!

Super! You carry all those passengers and let me know when you make as much profit per quarter as we did. Thats something to brag about! But Hey, you fly to Aruba and still fly 757 loads at 737 rates so I know whos boss

 

[canyonblue]

... let me know when you make as much profit per quarter as we did. Thats something to brag about!

Weren't you guys in bankruptcy a few years ago? That's something to brag about. You're like the neighbor that brags about all the toys he's got but can't pay his bills. When it comes to boasting about the money you guys make you guys are in a timeout for another few years, then we will let you come on here and brag. Pay your bills deadbeat, then we'll talk.

 

[BILL LUMBERG]

Look at todays scoreboard Canyon....

The past is the past, we were moving jets before you guys were a wild Turkey stain on Herb's doodling napkin. Not every airline can cherrypick routes and whine and payoff politicians to get slots and drop amendments that promote your businessplan.

Back on point, Get over yourself jackhole....nobody flys your airline because they didnt go through bk or never furloughed....they fly it because you are the cheapest and you go to a lot of places people want to go. You are still lacking in the latter category....good luck with the fluff.

Red: Dont get carried away or confuse "most loved" with most respected. Carrying masses of people short haul is not at all like operating a diverse fleet worldwide. You don't realize how much you don't know.

Hey maybe you can work those words in the pilot recruitment effort there at SWA? Maybe that would stem the new hire class no shows over there? Anybody no showing at Delta right now??? Yeah right... Like you're always posting: Pilots have adapted my friend. That BK don't mean much.

 

[canyonblue]

Pilots have adapted my friend. That BK don't mean much.

That bankruptcy did mean much, to all the people affected. Employees, creditors were all tossed aside. And some jackholes come on here bragging about their latest quarter. Yeah it pisses me off, but that's the country we live in. People do stupid stuff like refinance their house to buy jet skis and ATV's and can't afford their mortgage and we bail them out. And apparently those people post on this forum.
