I don't. Unless you're in a city that has a major hub for another airline that flies your routes, switching away from WN isn't exactly easy. For example, last year, I sat next to a lawyer for the State of California who said he commutes between San Diego and Sacramento, 1-2x a week, 50 weeks a year, and has been for 8 years. How exactly does someone like this switch? Fly through PHX or LAS on US?

I live in TUS and commute to PDX. I'm in California very frequently, and the midwest/southeast a little less frequently. I have two options on my flights to California. Drive 2 hours to PHX or fly to PHX and connect there, neither of which makes me happy.

Are some people going to switch? Sure. I just don't think it's going to be a mass exodus like some think. Remember, the vast majority of travelers don't think like us here on FT when calculating mileage costs. And quite frankly, I just want an airline that has a convenient schedule, friendly staff, and gets me where I'm going when I need to be there and doesn't screw me with rules, fees, and other nonsense. As long as WN doesn't penalize me for changing a ticket or tell me I can't get a boarding pass for my flight that leaves in 30 minutes because it's "under their cutoff time," I'm happy. Yes, it sucks I can't fly TUS-SAN or TUS-ABQ a bunch of times and then turn around and use the award to BOS or CHS, but such is life.

All that being said, RR 2.0 was exactly why I made a push to get MVPG on AS. I look forward to flying AS when practical.
