People in MEM have been trashing NWA (and now DAL) for years because we supposedly gouge them. That is probably true to an extent, and it is the unfortunate other edge of the sword when it comes to having a network carrier located in your hometown. You pay more.. but have more options. The city elders have for years.. in MEM.. been courting SWA and other "low cost carriers" all the while spitting in the face of NWA/DAL at every opportunity. So when we threaten to leave, they wonder why, and only then do they go to ATL to ask what they can do to get us to stay. MSP is probably no different.
