And yeah, established, financially well-off airlines like Southwest avoid the scarebus like the plague.

That is a plain ignorant, sensationalist statement right there. SWA avoids the Airbus for one reason, and one reason only - they've been flying the 737 since their inception. They go with what they know. That is it. It has NOTHING to do with fear of the Airbus.
Jeez, man.
