Actually, I was trying to compare them to other regionals. Airlines go up and down; I just feel that RAH has been on a continuous decline for a multitude of reasons. Maybe the regionals as a whole have as well...look at Mesaba, PSA, Piedmont, COMAIR, ASA. They all used to be "the" place to go when I started into the airlines. I guess my point came across wrong. I hate seeing people choose an airline with a large stake based upon the upgrade and then overlook what comes along with that.

I wouldn't even compare SWA to what the regionals are like. Even the flying is nothing like the regionals, although people like to say it is.
