Are there any "friendly skies" left?

Flying with young children is anxiety filled to say the least.  We have certainly logged our share of frequent flyer miles with having family around the country.  Despite being veterans, it seems that the airlines continue to make it increasingly challenging ... and well frankly anti-family.
There are many "must-haves" for air travel with children (i.e. the portable DVD player with charged batteries!); however, these days it may be that the airline you choose could make the most impact in your decision.
Rather than waste time telling you all the annoying rules, fees and attitudes of other airlines... I will simply say that our family are fans of Southwest Airlines.  Can we say TWO snacks, unlimited drinks, bags fly free, coloring books, happy flight attendants that sing, and early boarding for families with small children so you can actually sit TOGETHER (now there is a novel idea, ahem... are you listening USAir???)! 
But best of all they still give out these pilot wings to little boys:)
So excited that they now fly to Minnesota:)
