On which aircraft? The international-config 763 I saw with the new leather Y seats looked awful (insufficient seat-back height, so no head/neck support).

True, I like them too. Waivering due to the thought of more than 2 hrs with the masses of air greyhound. 1 hr or so on WN is no prob.

Once you're seated, Y is Y. And the boarding process isn't even that bad any more. Give me a DVD on my netbook, and I don't even look up.

I imagine the demographics issue is more pronounced ex-LAS (on all carriers, no less). I have found the WN crowd ex-HOU to be primarily business travelers who want a comfortable coach seat and access to a very efficient airport (HOU).

The seat can make all the difference, though. If I knew EUA was not an option, I would seriously consider WN for a transcon over CO, simply due to seat comfort. I also recently discovered that AC has an incredible Y product (from both a seat and entertainment perspective). I did YYC-YYZ-DFW all in Y, and was actually pretty comfy for the entire trip.

I suspect the practice is more common in smaller population centers. Perhaps Texas DPS is just as active with enforcement here in Houston, but with ~5M inhabitants in the metro area, and many thousands of extra linear-miles of roadway, their enforcement efforts are not as apparent. If you live in Waco, Killeen, Victoria, Lubbock, Abilene, etc., such enforcement attempts likely affect a greater percentage of the population.

You're probably correct. It's just like speed traps. They're most likely going to happen in podunk Redneckistan.

Yet another reason not to live in such places.

Obviously you haven't driven in Ohio. Speed traps are seemingly a science here, from local streets to freeways. My town has some pesky cops on harleys that hide behind freakin' trees! Bridges, on ramps, medians, berms, you name it.
