They think the U.S. airlines suck.

Well I agree w/ him about US airlines and SW....its what I fly here in the USA.

I was amazed once at LAX when I checked in to Alaskan Airlines and they wheeled our luggage away on a trolley through the airport and general public.

am I missing something?

who gave the writer the news that "Because as most travellers know, carriers in the US suck."

really?...

back it up with real numbers dude, not your opinion.

This is a quote from the article, "OK, this is "comparatively". Because as most travellers know, carriers in the US suck. And if the full-service, spend-all-your-money carriers suck, you'd expect the dinky budget airlines to be even worse (and they sometimes are – hi Alaskan Air). So that's why Southwest is such a pleasant surprise."

Is that what you mean, dude?

<i> Because as <u> most travellers know </u>, carriers in the US suck. </i>

where are the numbers/polls to back that statement?

That writer is a total loser and no I don't have the numbers/polls to back up my statement but I'm willing to play his game. :-)

Have a wonderful day!

Well if he/she is writing an editorial or personal column then the writer has a right to state private opinion.

If it is a news article then facts need to be checked but not necessarily source given.

:) :) Did I remember this all correctly. Its been a long time since college newspaper days!

"Well if he/she is writing an editorial or personal column then the writer has a right to state private opinion."

Maybe, but he would have a stronger argument if he actually backed that up with some facts.
