Eventually they will be forced to. LUV is like any other airline. You have to continually grow to spread out legacy costs over more seats. There are only a finite number of city pairs they can serve in CONUS before they need to look elsewhere.

G-dog,
Yes, and the DOW will be 100,000. Just Hope the former happens before the latter.
The question is "when"?
GK has mentioned numerous times he intends to fly internationally, just not in the short term. The claims are we are not "IT" prepared; dunno, maybe it's the lack of assigned seating (an international requirement). There is still a lot of domestic growth potential.
My bet is, we'll fly to San Juan, PR in the near term. I know, I know PR is not international, but it is outside the Republic of Texas, so it's a start.
PS actually, if the DOW hits 100,000, I'm retiring.
