I think the focus should be a little more on your own pay/QOL vs hoping other airlines do poorly
That would be a valid point, if my post had anything to do with what you describe. I was just explaining that there are a number of valid reasons for differences in market cap.
With all three networks firing on all cylinders, I suspect the highest market cap would be UCAL, followed by AMR, followed by us.
I'm way beyond waiting for other airlines to die. With seniority that is not transferable, we're all effectively married to our respective airlines, and we've all proven we'll do whatever it takes to keep her at home, no matter what she does to us.
I do think the Southwest "low-fare" model is a bit of a fraud, and I also think that they've peaked, but I don't anticipate getting a benefit from it.
