You make a good argument. But, this is exactly the same way new (and cheaper) airlines have always entered new markets. If I recall correctly, it just came out last week that, on a per route operational cost-basis, NK is 46% cheaper to operate than United. AA, and Legacies, can price match all they want, but they'll certainly be losing money on a per route cost. Sure, they'll keep doing it (particularly from AA towards South Florida), but they're also on track to lose more than $1 Bill this year; whilst United and Delta are expected to make profit.
They can price match all they want, but they can't compete in the long term. Well... there's always bankruptcy. Which, AA will need a miracle, over the next few years to avoid it anyway.

Yep. That’s the entire metric that is looked at. So just out of pure curiosity, when Spirit makes a profit next quarter, I guess you will say it’s not working anymore? Or will other factors be involved. Hmmmmm

It’s like running only 3/4 of a mile and bragging about your mile time, it doesn’t count.
But hey, let’s displace more pilots to the area of the country you blame for the loss and increase flying there. Smart.
