Southwest used to be the premier airline.


When was that? Until the advent of ultra low-cost carriers like Frontier and Spirit, Southwest was the Greyhound of airlines. An airline that is entirely economy seating can never be the premier.

Southwest was never the “premier” airline, they used to be the little niche darling of the industry, and they’re not going anywhere

If you define premier by how fancy your seats are and how good the inflight booze is, then no, they were never premier. That was never their model.

What Southwest was good at was timely and cheaply getting people from point A to point B without having to connect through a major hub.

But they screwed that up.
