The Wright Amendment didn't guarantee Southwest a monopoly at DAL. It restricted their market access out of DAL.
If it was such a good deal for Southwest why would they be opposed to it and American in favor of it?
If the termination date was inserted to end Southwest's "advantage" why would Southwest spend so much money and campaign so hard to repeal it?
