LOL. I'm sure. When DL does this, all will follow (to a certain extent, WN is already there). Then what? All planes in America will be empty?
No, of course not. Rather, the vast majuority of passengers, other than those who work for companies that don't watch their employee's airfares, will choose flights based on price. That will favor the carriers that have the lowest cost structures. Is that Delta or Southwest in Altanta, DAL's biggest hub? So who is going to win that price war? How will that help Delta?
