What constitutes switching to a "major airline"?

Southwest has 500+ aircraft, carries more domestic passengers in the single largest aviation market in the world than anyone else and flew 70% more ASM's than the largest airline in Canada. Is it a "major airline"?

WJA is a low cost carrier. There is nothing occuring that is changing that proposition. The reason WJ has the margins it has with the fares offered is because of the low costs.

Anyone can match the fares, and they do. The results are evident in the margins achieved as a result of matching the fares.
