As for your SWA analogy - they have some of the highest rates in certain markets, even when where they compete with legacies. Their business model is different than say AA/DAL, and they can afford to sell tickets cheaper on some routes than others. Spirit is different from them, but they have a niche market and very good analysis of routes that can be cherry picked.

Wow was none of these. They had a multi aircraft fleet with a horrible reputation in the last year and zero economy of scale wrt aircraft type. They were purposefully trying to destabilize the transatlantic market with flag of convenience schemes and got kilt... NAI is probably next. Good. Effing. Riddance.
