We're not talking about which is the better run business.........we're talking about size

Passenger miles is size. Profits are both better run and size. Revenue is both. Market Cap is both and is often used as a measurement of size. With passenger miles (so far in 2015, and almost as large in 2014) and market cap bigger than United, Southwest has made the big three in to the big four. SW is a lot bigger than Jet Blue, Alaska, Frontier etc. by all of those measures, bigger than any two I think, maybe bigger than all three by some.

Tim, in the airline industry, SW is not seen on the same level as American, Delta, and United. And I have given you the reasons why. If you think otherwise, so be it. Its an issue that is not that important to me.
