I'm sure Delta and United do things differently on many levels. Doesn't make them different. Still providing virtually the exact same product as Southwest plus or minus destinations and first class.
And minus the last 8 years, SWA pilot pay lagged just about everyone else. Even though the company was doing so well. So they as a pilot group really haven't contributed much, have they?
Southwest does thing differently. Do they serve cities like PIA, SGF, MTY, etc? No, they stay away from the small communities because they can't serve then without a hub and spoke system.
