That's the issue. The LCC's are banking on the legacies gifting them capacity, or at the very least forcing someone's hand with merger mania to buy off a competitor.
A year or two ago I would have been very concerned the legacy airlines (very much including SWA) would have yielded to the young buck marketshare poachers but the tide had apparently turned. Legacies have hit critical mass where they can bury an insolent LCC or two (each) on any and all competing routes and still post big profits over all.

So in your world Lcc's should really not exist right?
I kind of liked your other posts but this is just a very arrogant position.
Good thing you work for a legacy seems you fit the mold well.
Now I have to go and wait for my insolent airline to be killed by a legacy, it was fun while it lasted.

OK... so what is the solution then? It is retarded to blame the pilots that are working there. None of them are doing anything different than you or I did, or would be doing if we were in their shoes. Arrogance doesn't even touch the surface of some of the posts on here.
