this is a BiG deal and will drive UA prices down, especially IAH to ORD. Even beyond that if WN plays it right.
I wasn't suggesting the announcement wasn't real, just that there are zero details about anything. And the SW press release basically just says "stay tuned". This could end up being "a BIG deal" or (more likely IMO) a very little deal, if it even materializes. I don't have a dog in this fight except to the extent it may push down UA fares ex-IAH.
