WN started shedding capacity at ATL from the minute they acquired Airtran and are now something like 30% smaller than the combined carriers prior to the merger. DL mainline, on the other hand, is something like 30% larger. I mean, your example of PHF is telling in that WN pulled out of there completely, as soon as the ink was dry on the merger. There was no reason to "respond" to a carrier hell-bent on retreating to begin with.

You'd do well to brush up on the historical record before posting further on this subject.
