I'm not so sure of that. CO's 50% EQM rule went unmatched by DL and NW for years. CO's failure to provide free SDC for Plats wasn't matched by DL/NW (DL even provided it to Golds, and NW did it as a courtesy to CO Plats, unofficially). And both DL and NW had some form of SWUs while CO held out with no such thing.
Something's definitely changed for the better down in Houston.
