I think you pointed out the biggest threat they are under. Since SWA has picked most of the low hanging fruit and now faces strengthened competitors (hopefully that includes us if we ever get our act together), junior pilots at SWA just might start to feel that way. That along with a bunch of unhappy Airtran pilots could alter the cultural dynamics there for sure. We'll see.
