The next two on the list, are on for the same reasons. They get compared frequently because they are direct competitors of one another. Both American Airlines and Southwest Airlines use their Twitter accounts to manage their customer service. Many complaints are sent towards airlines, all of which consist of fees, delays, luggage, security and other passengers. So, both airlines see this as an opportunity to offer quick solutions to these complaints, as well as a small bit of PR for their brands.
