How am I arguing with history? I agree that they tried to force us out but couldn't because Southwest beat them in court.

That is exactly my point. They couldn't force them out because that was illegal, just as they couldn't force the other airlines from Love. They went willingly and signed an agreement to do so. Southwest was not a party to that agreement and would not voluntarily leave. Southwest could not be forced out either as evidenced by their continued service at Love. For God's sakes man the Supreme Court ruled in their favor. Do you really believe that the laws could only be applied to Southwest and not the other airlines?

You can argue it all you want but the facts are simply not on your side. You are arguing that there was a different set of laws governing Southwest that didn't apply to the others airlines operating at Love prior to DFW opening in 1974. The others voluntarily signed an agreement to cease operations at Love. If Southwest had signed that agreement they wouldn't have been allowed to stay, but they didn't and because they didn't leave voluntarily it was impossible to force them out. As we both know every possible angle was used to force out SWA but in the end there was no legal way to do so. Those are the facts and they are not disputable. The proof is in the pudding, Southwest still operates at Love despite every possible maneuver to force them out. So, if Southwest couldn't be forced to leave, how were the others forced out as you contend?
