I just flew into Denver, and the SWA expansion there is pretty amazing. Over the past few years, they've added a lot of non-stop flights out of there.
My big question is, if SWA identified and under-served market, why couldn't DAL?
Yes, they have expanded, but are they making any money? At last look the answer was no. SWA identified what they thought was a weak sister in Denver and thought they could attack United. It hasn't worked out as expected. They tried to buy Frontier to accelerate the expansion but it didn't work out.
