They'll paint it up pretty with a marketing blitz, some drink coupons and teaser fares and call it a day.

Ever seen WN check-in lines at LAX? Nightmare.
I was hardly suggesting a separate market-based WN product. Rather, I was hoping for systemwide maintenance of BC and pre-selected seating that has made FL a successful competitor with DL for the business traveler. It seems pretty arrogant of WN to ignore these successful programs and not even consider integrating them into their own business model.
