Who the hell cares!! It's airlines like this that have ruined it for the
big IMPORTANT carriers. Thank GOD they have no jets that can fly
overseas. Those mangie 737's would plummet into the ocean not far for
the shoreline!!

Actually, Aloha Airlines and Air Pacific (the Fijiian carrier) are flying
737NG's from the west coast to Hawaii. So the 737's do have transoceanic
range.

I am not a fan of Southwest myself (nor am I a fan of deregulation, which I
personally believe has been an absolute disaster), but you can't ignore
Southwest as not an "important" carrier.; They now are one of the biggest
in the U.S.
