For all the stories we have heard lately about F seats being held for revenue...I think someone upstairs in Tempe is starting to realize this way of thinking. This airline has quite a hold on a lot of routes now...that are very popular. They also know there are enough of us out there that have a say in the ticket purchase when it's not our dime. And...that some of us would rather have a US seat in the lav than stand in the WN Cattle Shute A for 2 hours.
