Not sour grapes, I know lots of SW people and have been to their HQ, its a good airline.
But, you know damn well that Southwest is given all the best press.
An airline is republican?
Silly silly statement.
Jet Blue is facing some tough times ahead, loads of new costly planes coming in and nowhere to fly them, plus a helluva lot of D checks coming up on those formerly new planes. As for WN's safety record, they have killed 100% more people than America West or Jet Blue has, and they have run off the runway through a fence twice now, the safety record is no longer spotless. (still better than most airlines, AA plowed into a mountain because the pilot screwed up, UA ran out of gas and crashed in Portland because the pilot didn't pay attention, etc...)
Im not going to argue with you. Republican for the most part. most are former military pilots. Herb is conservative, as is Kelly.
We've KILLED 100% more? Get a grip! Jet Blue as been in service a fraction of the air time southwest has. America West...I have no argument there.
I see only that you want to argue so Im done here. Im not a debater. My husband is a pilot, I speak only as a spouse of a very happy employee of hardworking airline. One which came to the air of many of the folks stranded after Katrina and Rita. One which after 9/11 was the airline that DID NOT take the government hand out.
Im not sure what YOUR gripe is but Im sure you will air it.
