Southwest Airlines: Will you be pledging money to help bring Southwest airlines to your town?

30.76% Yes
69.23% No

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.

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
