US actually was because Northwest had the first US Mail contract way back when.

I think you are 97% correct.
Personally I do make choices based on aircraft, but hardly for the reasons WSJ suggests, or even yours.
My choices depends mainly of upgrade possibilities, but even then I select.
I would rather be in first on a 757 than a 767, conversely I would rather be in coach in a 767 than 757 (coach seats are wider).
When I look at the seat maps between A319/20 vs 737 I will take the A3xx if row 5 or exit is open, otherwise 737.
I will pick a plane with two cabins over one.
Obviously timing is the biggest issue, but with options to connect in any of (up to) 4 airports with little difference; options are open.

Exactly right alfa...which leads me to ask why you didn't respond to his post about "right wing extremists" which I was responding to, but chose to respond to me as if I was the one initiating the political rant? I was simply putting his erroneous post into context. If you have a problem with the terms of service, perhaps you should respond to him.
