Default Swa and their Sandbox

This is what I am angry about.

Its always SWA who is the one who can't get along with anyone else
and requires their "own sandbox" to play in.

Here are some recent examples:

1) Wright amendment, 30 some odd years ago everybody I mean EVERYBODY said ok DFW I see that you built us a really nice new aerodrome and you want us to use it. Ok, EVERYBODY packed their bags and moved to DFW.........
that is everybody but SWA. SWA said "we like it here" ok then fine
Love is where you will stay!.
Fast forward 30 years Now SWA wants to have their "own sandbox"
Swa says "we don't like DFW" and we want to skirt the issue and have the legislation changed so we can still have our "own sandbox"
Sorry Fellas that decision was made 30 years ago........you had the chance then AND STILL HAVE THE SAME OPTION TODAY.
Pack up and move over !

2) Recent SEA events:
SEA has built up an beautifull new airport, modern large,easy access,etc.
SWA AGAIN says" We don't like SEA we want our own sandbox"

The city fathers and the rest of the non SWA comminity are saying
"SWA whats your problem" We have built a beautifull airport for you and everyone else to use.
But NOOOOOOOOOO SWA has to buck the system AGAIN had have it their way.

People this ain't Burger King, lets just fly to and from the SAME airport
and quit this SWA sandbox VS Rest of the airline sandbox.

SWA has a good product to sell NO discussion there.
Lets just all sell our product from the same mall!

I know ,I know You will harp all over my points saying things like
SEA and DFW just are not are in our business plans.
Well Tough.......... Airports in American are for ALL planes big, small.
green yellow and blue. So I ask you to play in everyones sandbox
and quit bucking the system.

SWA and all others CAN do this at the same playground.
Its just a matter of wanting to.
