It all basically boils down to this:

Swa has their sandbox......... DAL.
AA has their sandbox.......... DFW.

AA has no desire to fly from DAL
SWA has no desire to fly from DFW.

AA is happy with the way things operate now.
SWA is NOT happy with the way things operate now.

Swa wants to fly long haul from DAL
AA already does fly long haul from DFW

SWA wants to change the rules so they can play long haul too
AA does not want to let SWA fly long haul from DAL.

SWA wants to compete from a different location for the long haul customer
AA does that already.

Swa does not want to agree to fly ANYWHERE from DFW
AA says "come on over" competition is good.

SWa says" no" we want to do it in our own sandbox
AA says laws say no, come to our sandbox and play long haul.

SWA does not like AA's Sandbox, Too messy and too many players
AA likes it the way it is.

SO there you have it in language a second grader can understand.

The resolution is this:
SWA flys long haul from DAL
AA mirrors SWA long haul
OR
SWA goes to AA's sandbox and plays long haul
AA tries to beat up SWA

Either way this ordeal ends up it will be exciting
THAT my friend we WILL AGREE UPON
