I saw that watching football at the bar in CLT and again here sitting in B terminal at ATL.
I got the "non exit exit row" on the MD80. Southwest was looking pretty good, but they won't fly CLT-ORF, even though they both connect through BWI.
I'll fly free wherever, but when I'm paying, I like being able to walk when I land.

I have seen DAL, SWA, UAL, and now AA commercials.
DAL was the best. SWA second. AA then UAL but both were far behind the other two.
The bigger picture however is that airlines actually have some cash again, and are buying commercials. When was the last time airlines as an industry bought commercials? Maybe pre-9/11?

Now that you mention it, the commercials did seem to dry up in the years of losses. I guess "Fly us today, because we may be going out of business tomorrow" isn't so catchy.

And no inflight service to boot.

No disrespect. I just find their (SW) marketing amusing and probably aimed at the less experienced traveller.
From last years repetitive commercial about their fares being low because of those little "thingies" on the end of the wings (as if they invented winglets and are the only airline with them) to this years "737's, you know, the big ones". Most travelers know that "the big ones" carry more fuel than the 737's max ramp weight.
