> Just as an example (and I claim right now not to know if this is true), let's pretend that Southwest's business model is predicated on an available supply of 5-10 year old planes from the "major carriers"... If everyone adopted Southwest's model, there would be no ready supply of 5-10 year old planes...

Southwest buys new planes.  Their major advantage is they only buy
Boeing 737 aircraft.  There's been some talk about adding another
type, but critics say that will hurt them due to extra maintenance
costs.
