The industry in it's current form is kind of like a chess game. It's like this:
Southwest is playing all of the legacy carriers in the game. Southwest still has all of it's pieces. AA has a King, a rook, a knight, a bishop and a few pawns - still has a chance. United an USAir are down to a King, a knight and a few pawns - not much of chance there. Delta has a King, a knight, a rook, and a few pawns, still a chance there.
All of the other LCC's still have all their pieces, but they haven't been playing the game as long as Southwest has, so they can lose due to their inexperience.
In the case of all the legacy carriers, it's just a matter of time.
Checkmate.
