<font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">If the statistic merely counts boardings, the fact that so many of their routes are short (and thus relatively cheap to buy) probably helps their totals. </font>
The fact that they give you what they promise is the reason. For years AA and the other so called MAJORS said that WN was NOT competition!!

As I have said before. When you fly WN you see many Elite Tags on luggage from all the other airlines.

WN I believe is the #2 airline for most US elites.
