Uh, no. Try Southwest has a major operation in Baltimore which any who has read the news knows that the entire DC area has been hit horribly. These are NOT other airline passengers. These are the backlog of existing Southwest passengers trying to get home. Also, I can assure you that they were even more overbooked than it looked. In situations like this you will always have some that go ahead and drive, so there would have actually been more than what you saw.
