Because allowing SWA the monopoly at Love field forever would be unfair competition. When the Wright Amendment ends next year, it will have allowed SWA over 30 years of monopolistic advantage while it grew into a competitive entity. Fairness dictates a termination date at some point. The Wright Amendment did that.
