Favorite Domestic Airlines?

Yeah, sounds like an oxymoron I know, but really, which domestic US airlines do you like best, or dislike least?

I am limiting this to DOMESTIC since otherwise everyone would say Singapore Airlines, which isn't much help when you're trying to book your next flight from Des Moines to Dallas.

My favorite is JetBlue. 40 channels of DirecTV plus pay movies in each seatback, new planes, 36" seat pitch in the front half of the plane (and the rear half is pretty good too), and the employees still like their jobs (not as much as they did when the stock was high and JetBlue was growing rapidly, but still pretty good). I flew JBLU all the time from SFO, wish they had more service here in PDX.

My next favorite is Southwest. The planes are nothing special, but I like the open seating, the schedule and prices are good, and online booking, changes, and credits is very convenient. And the employees are pretty nice.

The only other airline I like is Alaska. Basically it is the full-service airline that seems to have the fewest negatives, and of course very good flight schedules up here in the PNW.

You guys? What are your likes?
