Correct me if I'm off base here, but isn't this one of the reasons the aviation industry got in this mess to begin with? Southwest may be sitting pretty with its fuel hedges today, but time will tell if this statagy works.

I, for one, will NOT fly Southwest out of Denver if I have an option to take Frontier or United. Even if it costs me a few more dollars. I would rather see Frontier get its act together and see Southwest go back to Texas.
30 years of making a profit, Southwest must be doing something right
