Southwest has a very unusual culture..... They also aren't as dependent on business travel as other airlines.
You can't compare a regional airline like Alaska or a unique airline like Southwest to the rest of them, who cater to a very different market.</font>
Excuse me, but Southwest is very dependent upon business travel, infact, that is how the airlines started. You can compare them to UA, DL and CO, that is what I am doing. Infact, if DL, CO and UA keep going like they are going, the only difference between them and WN will be that WN does not fly international. I fly mainly for business and find more leg room in WN then any of the others in coach. I think you do you not understand the fact that WN is growing with business passangers as they become more and more dissfranchised with the full service carriers offering in some cases less then WN. The big guys dug their own grave yet WN prospers. It is thinking like yours at the big guys that have them in this trouble - unable to see what is really going on!
