Oh, there are alot of competently run airlines. It's probably the
largest in the US, but hardly in the world.

Well, one size fits all isn't exactly my idea of quality but
there ya go.

Which implies that treating individuals individualy is some
how "unfair". My primary observation about WN is that they
take the "self loading cargo" to a whole new level.

Again, my experience is that they tend to fly to airports other
than where folks want to go (with some notable exceptions). They
actually tend to fly to where WN wants to go.

Again, only if your "world" is the US.

There are versions of them around the world. I'm sure you could
find airlines around the world that will allow you to be treated as
self loading cargo.
