Maybe economics and logistics?
One thing I hate about flying is how Southwest makes their pilots force humor on you. You can always tell they aren't comfortable but they always try to throw some joke in to make people laugh.
I don't want my pilots to be funny. Just like I don't want Louis C.K. greeting me as the pilot as I step on the plane. "Hi, hello, hi there, isn't this great? Look at this amazing plane. Everything's amazing and people look stressed and upset. Yes we're taking off a bit late but I'll make up for it in the air. You're going to travel two thousand miles in about three hours. Do you know how long it used to take us to travel two thousand miles? No. Nobody does because everyone who tried to travel two thousand miles back then died before they could come back and tell everyone how long their trip took. You think even the President always had Air Force One? No. I mean Abe Lincoln had to get around on Air
Horse One, ma'am. Seriously, everything's amazing sir, have a seat and try not to be too white. By the way the stewardesses will be coming by with some of my CDs. If you buy two of them I'll throw in a pilot's hat."
