    Southwest was, and may still be, my favorite airline. Not that I’ve traveled more than 3 times in my life, but the fact that southwest was always at the top for employee satisfaction. I had always respected that. It’s strange to me that they would eliminate a process that is a prime factor in driving sales… But… Money…
