All this about the network, fleet plans, Atlanta is great. I'm sure HE thinks that plan will work. I'm sure he's just as convinced about it that BB was about his.
No business ever thrives long term w/o taking care of its customers and employees. None. Nilch. Nada. Nyirt. None. F9 may profit a quarter or 2 here or there, but until the labor contracts are dealt with, expect lipstick on this pig.

Perhaps.

if you have to get from Denver to Atlanta what options do you have besides flying? Drive for two days?

You couldn't make that claim without setting up a false equivalency.
CG is talking about market necessity. Low-cost items that customers buy all the time.
You are talking about functional necessity. In this case, a customer's choices aren't reduced to only fly F9 or drive. (I realize you didn't say fly F9, but I took that implicitly in your response.) There's also don't travel, or fly with a competitor.
If F9 treats their customers like crap, they don't stop flying. They just stop flying F9.
Edit: Minor changes.

Particualy the idea that they’re going to treat labor well, when you can shake a tree and a pilot, FA, or gate agent is going to fall out
I just don’t have the same confidence as you saying that.

I got some bad news for you. These two are going to be a function of supply and demand, and not rooted in any sort of absolute truth.
