Am I overreacting? I mean, I like SWA, have flown them several times and will again, but that commercial just seemed STUPID.

I couldn’t really care less to be honest. I refuse to fly until the TSA and their molestations stop. I refuse to fly until I can defend myself on an aircraft. I refuse to give money to any airline until they help curb the TSA.

So, their fare rates don’t mean anything to me, I’m not giving them or any other airline a dime.

i think you are but i like SWA so i could be bias. all i saw was a company helping the community(s) they serve. it’s not like they are isining WE ARE THE WORLD or some such nonsense.

I liked Southwest better they gave you a bottle of whiskey with each ticket. That was long ago.

Most businesses like to display some level of social responsibility and citizenship in their corporate accomplishments.

It is just marketing and PR. Don’t read too much into it. Besides, is there such a thing as lower fares than Southwest?

Maybe a tad. I'm 1M miles with AA. Close to 1M with UA. And, "Companion Pass" on SouthWierd. Yea. They're a bit whacky. But; wife flies free, free drinks, first on the plane, 2 free bags when I have to check them, and free wifi (right now actually). Know what you get from AA and UA now adays? Undersized coach seats. No upgrades. Charged for everything. Old-bag union flight attendants with an attitude. I'll take a little whacky.

This means you actually pay attention to commercials. I don’t as a rule. I like to have a program recorded so I can zip past all the commercials.

Next week they’ll have a Commercial showing SW Employees throwing AR-15’S into a Furnace to be melted down.

You have to play to the audience, even if they are nothing more than Useful Idiots.

I belong to an organization that makes frequent consumer surveys.

Some of the questions about customer attitudes that always frustrates me are the ones that ask if such and such a company is a good citizen in the community and do I trade with them because of their charitable work.
