Depends on how many times he's received bad service on the legacy, too. They were misconnected, bags were lost, snarled at by a gate agent, etc. People remember, and purchase accordingly, especially if they don't care much about elite FF levels. They just want to get where they're going with a minimum of fuss. The carrier that provides that to them more consistently has an edge in getting their business next time.
