    You like Southwest—you really, really like them—and maybe this is why. A whopping 44 percent of SmarterTravel readers gave the nod to Southwest's flight attendants and crew as being the friendliest in the business. JetBlue was a distant second, with just under 9 percent of all votes, followed by Delta at just around 8 percent. Your flight crew preferences fell directly in line with your favorite airline picks—no wild surprises here.

    Bringing up the rear was Spirit, and it should be no surprise, given its

    strike fiasco

    earlier this year and aggressive

    fee policies

    . Tell us—what types of customer service improvements would you like to see across the
