If WN can turn their planes faster, why did they have a horrible operational issues last year? The fact is that once they got 738s, they couldn't turn them that fast.

There is no way I'll ever fly NK. Not with a 28" pitch. Never. F9 isn't too much better IMO. Plus, loyalty to NK gets you nothing as far as I can tell.

With DL (and AA, UA, and US), once you fly 25k miles, you get fee waivers, access to more comfortable seats, and several other amenities that make travel much less unpleasant.

As for bins filling up, I've seen it happen on WN as well back in the 1990's. It happens.
