<font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">Originally posted by NJDavid: So CO's "superior" product is a 2-step block buys on an airline that doesn't even recognize NonePass elite status? I suppose you haven't read the stories about how VS forces CO passengers to sit in broken chairs if they're amongst the block CO purchased and there are no other CO seats available (regardless of what's open on the flight). When I fly to LHR, I get FastLane access through immigration, an arrivals suite to shower and have breakfast, and people on the flight and on the ground who are genuinely happy to have me as a customer. And I've received operational upgrades twice this year...to real First Class on a real 3 class flight. Like I said, fly a real airline, you'll never miss Gordo-the-liar and the Continattitude.</font> |

Incomparable. I don't have an alternate IRS that I can go to for a lower rate.
CO fliers, however, can fly other airlines in response. Besides, we as voters have more say about our taxes, than CO fliers do with their airline, it seems. <font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">Originally posted by DLfan: The Feds do the same thing with taxes and almost no one rises up in righteous indignation!

WN's program is superior in part because it is so darn simple. Indeed, that's not only true of the success of the FF program, but of the airline as a whole. And while I don't fly WN much, if I were closer to an airport they serve, I would fly them much more. It is an excellent, well-run airline that delivers exactly what it promises. Which is so often not the case with the Big Six.

They deliver EXACTLY what they promise! Good bad or indifferent they know who they are, who their customer is and essentially how to keep them. And this is praise coming from a guy who doesn't like to fly them. Their business model and network don't suit my travel plans or my FF perks that I desire. To me the beauty of SWA is they Keep It Simple and they make money doing it. The low fares are IMO a myth and I have a copy of a pretty detailed survey that was published in the St. Petersburg Times that supports my position. |
