These days, it's getting harder for low-cost carriers to undercut the majors, since the majors have shed lots of costs during bankruptcy reorganization. United, Delta and American are dumping their pension programs on us, the taxpayers, and the bankruptcy courts are allowing it. Higher fuel costs have hit everyone hard, too. Southwest has benefited from low cost fuel because they hedged a large portion of their fuel over the past several years. As those contracts expire, they will be forced to purchase fuel at higher cost.
