Guys, argue all you want, IAD, PHL, PIT, DEN were all gonna be no no's the past 5 years.
Southwest is running out of markets, they have to tap into the heavy markets.
for NYC, That means entering either one of the big 3 NYC Airports.
EWR as noted is the least likely due to CO heavy domninance and also due to the delays there.
LGA is slot controlled and ATA does well for SWA there.
That leaves JFK.
Ryan- If that is the case how is it Southwest is the largest Airline in the world in terms of passengers enplaned? WORLD, not Country, World. It is CLEAR that people chose SWA for other reasons. You may not like them but that doesn't mean the other 80 Million passengers don't either.
Your intentions of WN is misguided, if WN was to fly JFK-OAK, which is just as close to San Fran as SFO is, you would get more then Peanuts, you would get a full service snack box for free, and unlimited drinks and a snack bag too, not something to get excited about but certainly a nice option to have.
And for arguments sakes it is not cattle car seat arrangement, I have had worse options when flying assigned and see it is no different then others.
B6 has been hurting with the fuel cost and major delays out of JFK, just because WN enters JFK does not mean they would fly every route with B6. Some B6 die hard fans will fly B6 regardless, and some WN fans will fly WN regardless.
If WN can make it work for them in cost effective way you will see them in NYC at one of the three airports.
