If Southwest thinks their just going to stroll into ATL and muscle, or should I say, flash dance Delta to the curb, they are sadly mistaken. Their pathetic business model won''t work in Atlanta.
However, DL might want to seriously consider rethinking taking away the first bag free for Silvers. Those are the folks will will prob stand the most chance of defecting to Southworst.

Also, if I'm on one side of these flash mobs that are beginning to run rampant in the Atlanta area, with a connection on the other (especially if the door is closing in, oh, say 5 minutes), I'm going to be extremely displeased and probably ruin their video.
I also don't want flight attendants who sing, rap, etc., but that's a different story.

Heard it here first (or was the 2nd...I know the folks at US said the same thing at BWI oh so many years ago)....they must be something right if they carry more domestic pax than any other airline these days (dont get me wrong - they are always my last choice....)

Does SW have any flexibility or any options to get me to exotic destinations by using their frequent flyer program? Probably not. One of the many great things about Delta (and other legacy's) is the options and choices with redeeming miles.
My honeymoon in Bora Bora was courtesy of Delta Air Lines skymiles. It cost me about $100.00 to redeem 150K miles for a RT ticket in BE class. Not bad. I could never in a million years do half the things with SW miles (or whatever they call them) as with skymiles. With SW, there are boundries, way to many of them for my liking.

Also, dont forget this. Delta is introducing EC on Domestic flights now.
It will undoubtedly provide for a much more pleasurable flying experience, and provide more bang for the customers buck, then anything WN can throw at the Atlantians.

And thats about all SW can brag about. Not much else.

It's a bit amateurish. T-Mobile set the standard for the airport flashmob out of LHR.
