I get what he is saying, as a fellow PHX based person. WN is pleasant in small does but the line ups and so forth get much more daunting when done frequently, as do the crowds..but most of all, as somone who does the LAS run frequently, USairways has been somewhat cheaper of late for that same route. Upgrades on USairways are not that big a deal for a 52 minute flight, I can hack coach for a short one like that..what I find though, is that LAS-PHX is harder to come by than PHX-LAS, so when I return I usually go with WN, but I make sure I take a flight after 930pm mid week to avoid the cattle call..usually only 30 or so people on it.
