I've booked more flights with WN (and tried VX) due to annoyance with BE. Not to avoid BE, because I would never buy it, but just because they royally pissed me off with that "more choices for our passengers" garbage. Multiply that process out by the thousands, and here we are.

It's now highly route specific whether you will see BE. But I've certainly been on that flight where Group 5 was quite large.
