As for SW, are they _really_ competition for US? I mean, US's presence in the southwest (or even the west) is minimal.</font>
Unfortunately, Southwest has a major east coast presence. They can go up against US to the greater Boston area, upstate NY, Hampton Roads, RDU, Chicago, Detriot, Houston, and kill US to Florida. Because of their connecting opprotunities and fares, they will depress US yields even to the places that they don't fly directly out of PHL (all of the west coast destinations).
