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?
SW was once huge in Denver. They pulled out completely and are now going back into the market. They are not adding capacity to do it however they are moving flights from other markets. SW planned on running Delta out of SLC. They were supposed to have like 250 flights a day in that market. They peaked about 130 and are now down to 34 flights a day. Much of that flying is now in Denver.
