Why Southwest Airlines might be annoying:

    Its TV commercials feature the signature 'ding' followed by a pilot saying, 'You are now free to move about the country.'
    They were sued for weight discrimination by a 300-pound passenger from New Hampshire who was kicked off a flight after she refused to purchase a second additional seat; there were several obese passengers before her that were given the same ultimatum by the airline.
    In another incident in 2000, pilots overran a runway in Burbank, California, resulting in 43 injuries, but no fatalities.

Why Southwest Airlines might not be annoying:

    Their low fares have been popular for years.
    It was the only airline to remain profitable in the two-year period following the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks.
    They were the first major airline to offer a ticketless travel system, and the ability to book flights online through its website.
