Here's where your argument doesn't hold water on the LAX to NYC. Can they both get you from where you are to where you want to go? Yes. Go to delta and pull up that flight. I'll put money on it that it gives you more than just the direct option. I bet they have connecting options too. Just like southwest. You just picked a route that Southwest doesn't do direct and say it's different.

Was Continental different because they flew 3 aircraft compared to your 9?
