And they don't even have to get into "predatory pricing" (funny isn't it that LCC's can gut established fares offering pennies on the dollar but if a legacy tries the same to them they squeal to the government for protection) but there's nothing to stop predatory capacity. What's your cheapest bucket? We'll match it on twice the seats per day you have. Bring it.

You love that capitalism…right up until it works the other way.
