Today I had the very UNFORTUNATE experience of being a PAX on Southwest. [/QUOTE]
Were you in Russia? Or Iraq? Did you not have a choice of carriers?
Personally I avoid SWA for anything involving more than one leg or multiple ac. Haven't been able to shake the sting of a trip to Tahoe from midway I took in college. I think we stopped at STL, MCI, PHX, and then tahoe, took forever and had to swap aircraft a few times, which means I had to stand in line again. Since I was in college and its all I could afford, I gladly put up with it. I since have been able to afford to ride on the hub and spoke carriers, and before 9/11 they would get me there much faster, however, since they cut back on their schedules, more often then not I have a 2-3 hour layover at the hub.
But I have since flown SWA on a couple one leggers, and have been very impressed. My impression of SWA's on time perfomance is outstanding. But it is easy to excel when my main other airline choice is UAL, which is going for some kind of record when I fly them for never leaving on time. I am speaking has a customer here, and not as someone trying to break into the airline gig.
Of course I would still love to work for SWA no matter how many legs a day I had to fly.
