In fact, we will not be using the commercial aviation system until you help clean it up.

Your choice: reduced load factors, reduced flights, reduced revenue or lobby congress to fix the problem.

A lot of airline complaint handling is automated: look for certain keywords, select standard response, clerk hits "send" key. A second round like this (w/ the original letter attached) is often needed to get their actual attention.

That par for WN, at least they acknowledge receiving it. If they don't reply in 30 days, you will get an apology for the delay.

At least, that been my experience in dealing the them via email.
