Hey Pipe, just wanted to know where your airport "class" was when WestPac and Frontier were battling it out at Den by selling $39 fares. I was at Westpac, and we carried lots of folks whose baggage was either paper or plastic. Then again, I never understood back then why someone from Denver would pay $1200 for a round trip ticket to Seattle on United, when you could do the same on someone else for a third or less...
Frontier and SWA are good airlines... the city and people of Denver will be better off with a little more competition, unless you want to go back to the basic monopoly that UAL had before F9 (and any other airline that serves that city)
One last thing, to those of you who accuse SW pilots of being overpaid... the fact is they are more efficient than any other airlines. It used to be most pilots at the majors bragged about well they were paid, and how little they flew. You simply don't have that argument at SWA. A pilot can, and does make good money, but he/she is also working more than most to get it. I used to have 42 hr layovers at a Major carrier I worked for... WTF... no wonder they can't make money. Like it or not, SWA is the model of efficiency, and most other carriers could do well to learn from them.
