I’m understanding now where the dingdong part of your name comes from.
edit: honestly tho, it’s amazing that “I’m not disputing your point” and “while still being cheaper” apparently didn’t get across to you.
Obviously, if Southwest raised their prices to match Hawaiian now or at any time, then they would no longer be the cheaper alternative, duh. If Hawaiian and Alaskan decide to raise their prices enough, Southwest can also raise their prices and still be the cheaper alternative. This isn’t hard to understand.
Expecting nothing to change in the future just makes it hard for me to believe that you and I live in the same state, watching the same financial trends.
