In DEN, WN is already an O&D leader, they will continue to take away market share, it might effect them even in Houston area, where WN is a strong player.
The people that will switch to AA will be all the unprofitable mileage runners from Delta and United. All the profitable flyers who spend the most money will be happy with Delta and United.
