Comment: No, I would not pledge money to bring Southwest Airlines into the area. We need the current airlines to open more direct routes within Florida and major cities like Chicago and New York. Southwest has caused a lot of what has happened to air travel today. People want First Class service paying the cheapest prices from all airlines. from Pensacola/FL by Dave

Comment: Why do we have to bribe an airlines to come here? They should be asking/paying us to open up new horizons from their profit. from FWB by Jon
Comment: i think SW will make a sound business decision and chose pensacola over the other town based upon the amount of travellers going through yearly but if it will ensure for them to come to pensacola i will pledge money for them to come here...it sure will curtail the prices the other airlines have put into place here...they have been price gouging the public here for so long, its about time some one put them into their place. from p'cola fl by h
Comment: For those of us who have lived near airports where Southwest provides service, we all know how great it is (service & ticket prices) to have Southwest available. from Orange Beach, Al. by John
Comment: before we try to spending money to get another airlines, why not try to land some jobs here instead.the economy sucks and the millions spent would be better spent on attraching employers..No jobs ,no people from pensacola,florida by michael
