[QUOTE="Deleted member 2897, post: 613751"] Yes, in unfairness to SWA, they have changed a lot. I never fly them, because everytime I look, they are more expensive than the other airlines. But 15-20 years ago they were the bomb. No games, you can change flights without a fee, all the pricing was predictable and flat. No pre-seat assignments. So they weren't paying for tons of seat-driven software, all the pre-boarding ordering, no buildings full of hundreds of bean counters trying to analyze and model pricing, the same model of planes so all flight crews and maintenance folks are cross trained on everything and parts inventory is kept much lower, the flight crews stick with 1 plane circle for their shift and are done instead of hopping all over the place, and so on and so on.
