Investor, yes - flyer no. I do understand that there is a large demographic for which price is everything. Mostly they are heading home to see the grandkids or heading off to an endless spring break. And no, they won't be creasing their Hawaiian shirts with a laptop trying to finish off a presentation.

But I'll take an assigned seat and the CO service over LUV anytime. Though I will miss, if I fly enough, a free trip to LBB. Pass the barbeque!
