Southwest is quite unique in the industry. I don't believe that they have ever had a crash. How can you question their safety record if that is the case? Most of their low prices are because of effiency not skimping on safety. They also don't use that many different planes so they don't have to have that many parts. The planes may be older but it looks like they are working fine. I have always marveled when flying Southwest. I have been at the gate with no plane at the gate 15 minutes before takeoff. It still makes it on time. Also the government is thinking about adopting one of their rules about having no assigned seats in its new safety regs. The other thing that they do differently than the others is consitently turn a profit.
You can't really use Valuejet either since they are no longer flying (or crashing).
When flying out west, my wife and I usually drive to Little Rock, AR since SW flies out of their airport. The tickets are usually half the price of flying out of Memphis since it is a major Northwest hub. Northwest has also been able to legislate against SW flying into Memphis.
