        I meant aircraft in general. If the prices of one starts going up too much, it’s cover for everyone else to raise prices too. Just how it works here with everything.

          Southwest has been consistently cheaper and remained cheaper for a very long time.

          Hawaiian sells mostly to tourists and seem to cater to an older more ‘luxury’ crowd.

            I’m not disputing your point, but pricing is relative, and if the lack of competition between Alaskan and Hawaiian results in their prices eventually going up, then it’s possible that Southwest’s prices, while still being cheaper, will also go up.
