That's discussed in the ruling. The barriers of entry weren't the main problem, the main issue was that no other competitor is big enough that they could grow into those overlapping routes. He used some pretty absurd %ages in there and strict timelines when this would have to happen for it not to be anti-competitive, Allegiant would have to grow 500+% in 2 years, Frontier 300% and so on.
