According to a friend in the airline business (Delta management) there are "opportunities" for Southwest in interisland travel that other mainland based airlines have passed on. She mentioned their point to point flying model and rapid on-ground turnaround of aircraft as the differentiating factors. Efficient aircraft utilization allowing interisland runs between mainland runs was one specific thing she mentioned, but she didn't go into details.
