Homemade formulae, eh?
Nope.
Here's the breakdown of AA's operations at DFW, based on SSIM data:
Call it home-made if it makes you feel better, but this is the stuff airlines pay $1500 per day for someone on my team to do for them. They have plenty of people who can regurgitate raw data the way you do, but they don't have people who can look at it in a non-binary way.
We also sell the tools for doing this more graphically, but I don't think you can afford it.
What I've found in the last half decade of consulting is that pragmatic almost always wins over an emotional argument.
You can come up with all the crazy ass theories and non-quantifiable inputs (like what you're proposing is going to magically happen when WN is free to roam about the country from DAL), but what's provable usually comes to pass.
And right now, what WN's been doing the past five years is provable. They didn't come into PHL and kill USAirways. They've underwhelmed in ATL.
My guess is they'll underwhelm at DAL as well, especially if they're trying to come to grips with a slot windfall up in the Northeast, and simultaneously dealing with a much different competitive situation in what's their largest station, PHX, and finally getting down to the actual integration of AirTran into WN and v.v.
Nope.
