There is not going to be some major shift in the way we move people by planes that put Sears out of business, taxi companies, etc.
Sure the product is a little stale, but all that is fixable. Wasn't so long ago that other airlines imitated Southwest (MetroJet, Song, Ted), now it's time for Southwest to steal a little from others.
The largest domestic carrier isn't going anywhere soon, they just stopped expanding until Boeing can get the 737 situation figured out.
