I think southwest is a fine airline, but I despise that advertisement, partially because it hits to close to home and partially because the aircraft type is listed right there on the website when a customer buys their ticket (this is required by federal law, I believe). I have no sympathy for people who are too lazy to research what type of plane they're flying before the make a purchase, especially when it's right there in plain english before the make the purchase. If you want to avoid a "small plane" it can usually be done by driving to a larger airport or choosing a different flight time. Small Jets and turboprops have been around for decades now, you should not be shocked about the type of aircraft you will be flying on when one shows up at the gate.
