Southwest’s 4th quarter financials have been released and contrary to analysts expectations, Southwest not only made a profit in the 4th quarter, they’ve made a profit now for 37 years in a row.  For details on the numbers, click HERE.

I’m sure many will attribute this entirely to Southwest’s “no baggage fees” campaign but I think that is doing a disservice to Southwest.   I’m quite sure this has more to do with having an excellent service product, excellent staff and a new CEO who appears to have come into his own and really is a new SWA leader.  Congratulations Southwest.

Southwest Airlines’ blog, Nuts About Southwest, had a post about their cabin interiors which you can view HERE. 

If you think aircraft seat pitch hasn’t changed over the years, take a look at their photos.  Particularly the first two photos of interiors.  The seat pitch is dramatically more generous than the last two photos.  The seat pitch shown in the first photo would, at a guess, exceed that of United’s Economy Plus on most aircraft.
