Southwest pulling out of Bush Airport

Slightly changing topic to leg room, (and whining a bit)

Well, yeah you are whining a bit :-) I've always flown "Herbie Airways" for one reason and one reason alone. He never lied to me. Southwest has always advertised we'll get you there and throw some peanuts at you enroute. Nothing more nothing less. And their crews in the air and on the ground are the friendliest I've ever dealt with 99% of the time.

I had to fly business on Delta twice last year and was treated like a piece of meat by Skyhags from Hell, and my vacation flight to the Florida Keys last winter on United was ruined with cancellations and rude service. And yes, I was the model passenger. Polite, undemanding and never lost my temper despite their ineptitude, and that fact I paid three times what Southwest would have charged. Wrote letters of complaint to both airlines, never received a reply. So, never again. Full service airlines would do well to observe Southwest's customer service and financial business practices. As far as I am concerned they are reaping what they sow.

Give me a smile, a bag of peanuts and wheels up Herbie, just get me there.

Well I'm not picking on the guy personally, but it amazes me that people in general expect first class service and seating from an airline that never claimed to give full service to begin with. Southwest has always imaged themselves as a low cost "get you there" carrier. And I forgot to add in my other post I'm 6'4" and I've always sat fairly comfortably in SWA seats with an inch or two to spare on my knees.

Travel safe my friend.
