Is anyone watching "Airline" on A&E tonight? This guy wants to get home to Ft. Lauderdale but they rebooked him to the next morning because he had 2 drinks. He was saying that SouthWest wasn't the only airline in the airport and he could go fly with Eastern if he wanted to. I wonder where he has been for while.

Southwest is VERY strict with there drinking policy, at least on the show, if they even THINK you've had a beer, that’s it your off the flight.

Now my personal commentary:

I try not to watch the show; unfortunately I can't avoid the commercials, because instead of using the show as a forum for positive publicity, Southwest uses it for the exact opposite.

If I were running Southwest I’d make sure that the millions of Americans who watch the show and have never had any experience with our airline said “Hey what a great airline, I think I’ll try them next time I fly to _______.” Instead most people who see it say “How do they stay in business with such atrocious customer service?” (Not knowing that some other airlines have almost equally atrocious customer service)
