Who competes head to head with legacy airlines?

I find it interesting that of the established LCC carriers in the United States, only one of them seems unafraid to compete with major legacy airlines at their established hub and/or focus city airports.  Airtan. 

 

Every other successful LCC airline has followed a model of ducking and weaving away from the home territories of established major legacy airlines and, they, too have been successful.   However, I think Airtran has managed to prove you don’t need to be afraid of a legacy airline if you have the right product and prices.   I would applaud loudly if they ever came into DFW and provided some real competition to American Airlines by making DFW a focus city.
