The dominate attitude that prevails with most airlines these days is customer loyalty isn't a concern because the ticket price is the deciding factor. Most folks when they do a ticket search are looking for the lowest price. But who are they fooling? If you're traveling for any length of time you're second bag alone negates any great savings.

On most airlines if you fly economy you are crammed so tight someone reclining could knock the water off your fold down tray and there isn't even enough room to put you head between your legs for a crash landing! I flew to LA from Chicago in a seat that recline in an econonmy section that was so tight I could barely walk once I arrived. Two days later I suffered a calf tear that left me on crutches!

So for the folks who want their cheap seats go for it! I will spend my money on airlines that offer some basic ammenities.
