Of course they don't mention all of the non-stop destinations that can be reached from MSP on DAL. They just want "more competition" (lower fares). As if getting more flights from the likes of UAL/AA/LCC/WN would provide more non-stop destinations...
There was a similar article in Sunday's S-T in which they only mentioned, in the last paragraph, how most passengers are fine with the higher price as long as their flights don't have stops. Gotta sell papers, right?
