Well, Ian, not all of us can afford to throw away money, even if it is only $50. Southwest still offers something that no other airline offers - FULL credit on your non-refundable ticket in case you are not able to take the flight as scheduled. All the other airlines charge $50 to $100 to change a ticket.
