What's caused Southwest to slip in the rankings??

Though I will say from my traveling in the Northwest Alaska deserves it's ranking above Southwest.

+++++

I have a strong suspicion, though, that within a few years Alaska is going to get scooped up, most likely by either Delta or American.

I was also surprised that SW earned such a low ranking. We love SW, and drive from Toronto to Buffalo when we fly. DH is flying on a RR in May, and I am using a paid ticket less some ticketless funds left over from a rebooking. They are such an easy airline to deal with.
