]Business travelers don't always avoid them. In fact, they frequently flock to them, since they have reasonable last minute fares, unlinke most majors. Also, Southwest may operate from an airport more convenient to you. This is the case in Dallas. Its been a while since I flew Southwest, but I assure you that the planes were not devoid of the business traveler.
Well, let me just say this about Con Air. My butt will never be in their seats. Ever. If the trip is important enough to my employer so that I have to go at a moment's notice, without any chance to get a lower ticket price, it's important enough to not put me on Con Air.
Plus, when you consider that they charge $130 to fly from BWI to Chicago, and UAL and AMR charge like $165 -- well, not having to deal with Con Air is well worth the $35 to me even when it's my own money.
