I was actually surprised UA and F9 matched SWA so well out of Denver given how limited SWA's flights are from there vs. how extensive the UA/F9 flights are from there................but I guess that's what they have to do to stop SWA from stealing all their market share. I wonder where the tipping point is? I wonder what would happen if SWA flew one flight daily to many different cities, would the others match? How many daily flights are required for the other airlines to match SWA prices?????
