Why WN makes money (was: [AIRLINE] Angry Airline News....but true !)

Nope - direct quote from their web page:

Our lower priced restricted fares are completely
non-refundable and non-transferable, but may be
reissued for a $100.00 change fee, per person, plus
any difference in fare. Restricted fares
may require any or all of the following:
     - round trip purchase
     - advance purchase
     - flight specific
     - select day of week travel
     - minimum and/or maximum stay

>From Southwest (emphasis mine): With respect to ALL of its fares, Southwest
Airlines does NOT prohibit or penalize what is commonly known as "hidden
city" ticketing, nor does it prohibit or penalize what is commonly known as
"back to back" ticketing. "Hidden city" and "back to back" reservations and
tickets ARE AUTHORIZED for travel on Southwest Airlines.
Southwest also allows back-to-back ticketing, unlike other airlines.

Furthermore, if you choose not to use a restricted ticket that you have
already purchased, the amount you paid for your ticket may...be applied
toward the purchase of another ticket on Southwest Airlines.  ... We will
charge thee appropriate fare ... which may mean more money, but Southwest
does not charge a "fee" for the "exchange" of tickets.  No ... refunds
(though).
