Southwest Airlines
The airline that proved you don't need first class, assigned seats, or hub-and-spoke to build a dynasty. Southwest turned 'peanuts and personality' into the most consistently profitable airline in American history. One aircraft type. No nonsense.
Southwest only flies Boeing 737s. Their entire fleet is one aircraft family, which saves a fortune on training and maintenance. Mechanics only need to know one plane.
