Who the hell cares!! It's airlines like this that have ruined it for the
big IMPORTANT carriers.

Uh-huh. Those "big IMPORTANT" carriers have a business model that
*depends* on soaking the last-minute business traveler for as much as
they can squeeze out of him. With internet pricing searches, it
doesn't work anymore.

Southwest is profitable WITHOUT a government bailout. You prefer your
tax money to subsidize corporations?

Those mangie 737's would plummet into the ocean not far for
the shoreline!!

Southwest has one of the youngest jet fleets in the industry. Would
you prefer a Northwest DC-9 built in 1968, or a Southwest 737-700,
built in this century?
