Yep, I've been using Southwest for my travel to Boise.
OK, among the most terrifying sentences I've ever heard.

(Actually, I know nothing about Boise... it's just one of the default "well, its not like we're in _______, of course we can do that" along with Peoria, Dubuque, and sometimes, forgive me Tep, Cincinnati.)
