First of all, the rich players don't pay a dime to fly - their company does. Second, the 727's are much more comfortable than WN's 737s because they have seats for only 35 to 50 people. Third, the 727 can get into airports that the 737-300 cannot fly into because the 727 can land and takeoff in a shorter distance than the 737-700 and 757.
