    The ONLY reasaon that SouthWest is acceptable is ....

    that they fly shorter routes. It's easy not to get pissed off on a flight from Oakland to Burbank. I've flown that route at least 50 times.

    I can't imagine taking a SouthWest style flight from SFO to Buenos Aires, however. Though I have to say that American and United are becoming more like SouthWest every flight.
