Nobody is disputing that WN makes money.
But that doesn't make them an attractive airline to fly.
To me, WN means: zero amenities, cattle-class service, Pepsi can 737s on long-haul domestic routes, and way too many pax who oughta be flying ConAir. </font>
Same amount of amenities as on ASA, and that is where I wind up almost allways when I fly DL. DL also have very few amenities these days on domestic. Cattle class????? There is more room on WN then on DL in coach, and more room then on DL First Class on the new 757s. As far as Pepsi service, I take my own food, and I think we will all be doing that on DL soon as well.
Bottom line, it is nice to fly non-stop on DL vs. having to change planes on WN. But when one fare is $199 and the other is $799, I think it is time to set travel policy straight - WN is not that bad and if a middle seat means you wont fly, maybe you should not be working for me as if you are so fragile to get stuck in in the middle seat (I have never been stuck in a middle seat on WN) that you will break, you are too weak to work for my company.
