The sad truth is that most DAL pilots won't ever get to the top wrung of the ladder, and as such, will make less money than a stagnating Southwest FO.

Not to mention that when SWA does grow the network, they are the ones growing. Not outsourcing it to RJs (which they just awesomely dumped!) or all sorts of foreign carriers.
Kind of makes sense to have one company do almost every function, instead of calling for potable water and having the request go through employees at three or four different companies.
