Southwest, Delta, USAirways, United and American all do things that are different. Doesn't mean that they aren't all going for the same group of people when you compare them on head to head destinations. Not routes but destinations. I know people who will take connections because the direct is expensive or take the direct because the connection route costs too much. They still both do the same thing via the same mode of transportation.
Hey! We did it!!!! We agree on something!!!
I too agree that SWA and Delta do similar things. But I also feel the business structure is different between the two. On that, we will likely have to agree to disagree.
