I've been in seat 16C consistently for 20 weeks now on the Den-Ewr united flight from 7:12 to 12:30am (aka 2:30am) returning 8:30pm (aka 10:00pm) on Friday. I would love to fly Frontier but they fly into LGA and it makes a big difference when you're not actually going into NYC but suburban Jersey. Southwest goes into Islip I'm not even sure that's a real place and not something they just made up. Southwest is a great marketing machine, they have the reputation for low prices that you have to check just every trip to make sure… but only once from Denver and only on the handful of trips I've taken between SJC and LAX have they actually had a 7 or 14 day advance lower than United. Believe it or not. Bottom line, I share your pain.

I saw this when it first made the rounds and IT IS AWESOME. Thanks for taking me back down to reality.

General Aviation may not make economic sense, but it sure is a whole lot more pleasant than the airlines. Depending on the distances you're flying you may not even need to go by jet to make it faster once you factor in closer proximity of airports, fewer security hassles and flying on your schedule instead of the airlines schedule.

Frontier is ok, but I like Southwest better. Plus, Southwest has figured out how to run a profitable airline, which scores them bonus points with me.

Gave up on United long time ago. Started flying Continental, they were much, much better! Not sure if they still are, it's been awhile. I think you'll need more than a month off though…….
