The price of a ticket is dependent on hundreds, if not thousands of factors including the pay for every Southwest employee.

Not necessarily. Despite your own costs, there is market competition. You might have to keep a price at a certain price point to maintain your presence. In the long run, it won't work but a business does not come and go based upon daily costs.
If watch the Southwest pricing model, I can typically recover 1/3 of the cost of the initial ticket by checking the pricing model as the time to the flight gets nearer. I use those credits on future flights so that is a smart Southwest strategy as well.
I was surprised on my last flight from MCO to PIT where I flew round-trip for $265. More than half of the original fare got recovered as the prices dropped.
