I think the ULCCs will grow a lot, but the aggressive growth plans of both frontier and spirit combined is probably more than can really materialize
Actually that's good analysis - I've got nothing
I guess my only hope would be that we can draw out an entirely new and massive, even more 'discount', customer base than even Southwest can. But thats probably a pipe-dream because Southwest has the economy of scale and marketing machine to tap that same base forever.
You win Aero - now I'm depressed again
