Why can't several succesful airlines occupy different points of the market without this antagonism?
At some point there is a level of ammenities that people will pay for. For a lot of people that level is found exactly where Southwest has possitioned itself. And, IMO, that's just fine and dandy. Some folks just want a cheap ticket from point A to B and that's all.?
What's ironic is that I currrently prefer a higher level of service and am willing to pay for it but perceive the quality of a JetBlue (or possibly SWA) flight to be higher at the lower price point.
