So SWA competing with Frontier is good or bad? Frankly this poor-poor pitiful me argument is getting old. I don't wish anyone to lose their job but perhaps Frontier is the reason UAL is having trouble now? Competition is not going to go away and you can blame someone else for your troubles but then you don't fix your own house.

The DINK couple down the street has four times the debt I have and their house is nicer (with new cars too). Does that make their "product" superior.
Maybe on the outside but deep down they are one paycheck (and one furlough) away from financial ruin. The airline business is no different and if the airlines don't fix their business model don't blame little 'ol SWA.
