Completely wrong and revisionist history.

Basically an admission that the legacy carriers cannot compete with SWA out of Love under the current restrictions. Who's fault is that?
How is that revisionist history? AA tried and failed. UA tried Denver and failed. DL tried MEM and failed. The only reason UAL sells any seats at all is they serve IAH and appeal to all of the oil types who live on the north side of Houston.
Like it or not, the amendment was created to severely limit SWA to the point of failure. I think any AA or Braniff executive will tell you that.
