I flew Southwest Airlines for the first time last month. It was a very pleasurable experience. Everybody was friendly and everything went on time. On both trips (from Boston to Orlando and back) went very smooth. Pilots were constantly pointing out landmarks down below and giving us weather conditions on the ground. Stewardesses were cracking jokes and singing songs over the loudspeakers. The stewardess even brought me a second beer without making me ask her for one. First time in 20 years of airline travel that this has ever happened. (It happened on the return trip as well.)

Small things, yes, but what a difference from the cattle cars that are the "major" airlines. I'm flying SouthWest for now on whenever I can.

Southwest is the only airline that I will fly if they fly to where I'm going.

Most of the time their planes land on time and take off on time. We have never had a misplaced piece of luggage on SW.

Their flight attendants are funny crazy, and their pilots are great pilots.

Book your flight 5 to 6 weeks ahead of time and you can save a lot of money.

Their computer system which identifies regular fliers is light years ahead of AA and UA. The President of AA gave money to Linda Da$$hole last year and said that his computer could make the recommended security changes.

Their stock went up 3.08% today. (LUV)

You have got to be kidding. Southwest is only pleasurable if you like riding in a cattle car. Also, they board by the order you arrive, not by loading from the back of the plane first. So you get traffic jams in the aisle.

"Stewardesses were cracking jokes and singing songs over the loudspeakers."

The last time we flew SW everyone was cutting up, from the pilots to the counter people on the ground. It makes a difference!
