That pretty much covers the rest of the dumb questions.

Ummmmmm really? DAL has effectively become a slot controlled airport. Just like DCA. Just like LGA. When Delta wanted to do a slot swap with LCC for gates between LGA and DCA, the gubbamint got involved and forced those carriers to give up slots to accommodate "competition". And you see no double standard there? Of course not. SWA can get gates at ATL and ORD.. it is just that they get their asses handed to them when they try....
