At that point, B6 would be no different than UA and DL. I probably would switch all my business travel to the legacies as MileagePlus, Skymiles, and MileagePlan are much more valuable programs to me than TrueBlue.
Southwest is also under pressure to charge for bags . If B6 got rid of the EMS seats (which make money) and switched to 31 inch coach I will then become less loyal to them (and others would make the switch as well).
