How do you explain the fact that in the last 13 months, WN has added 8 daily nonstops to Chicago, 3 to Denver and 2 to St. Louis?

Most airlines other than WN have been cutting capacity (& still losing money), although UA did butt into the Duluth (MN) market. Expansion from other airlines will come when the economy improves, at which point they will expand even faster than WN.
