TED is bad enough as it is. I don't want it competing with Southwest, and attracting the low-cost, casual leisure market.
The whole purpose of TED is to attract the low-cost, casual leisure market. By adding extra seats and lower fares, they can make up on volume what they lose in fares compared to mainline flights and, if not make a formerly unprofitable flight profitable, lose less money then they were when it was mainline.
