I don't think that they are competing aggressively at all. I was looking at flights from MAF-HOU, and WN was at least $20 more than CO, and IAH is a lot more convenient for me, not to mention safer.
I have my elite for next year, and I would like to fly WN a bit more to get the RR certificate, but I just can't bring myself to get on one of their planes.
