Swa is slot restricted to 24 flights a day. SWA and Jetblue are ****ed because the security lines for their pod in terminal A are ridiculously long. If you have multiple 737's and a320's boarding within an hour of each other the security line is down past the food court. Shoehorning swa, westjet, jetblue, air canada, and jazz all in the same pod is a cluster that United is quite happy with. IAH might be reduced in the future but ewr needs the shorter routes that republic doesn't want with the Q. 50 seaters will be in ewr in some form for a long time to come. Keep trolling.
