Why subject ourselves to the delays and chaos for the handful of gates we would be able to get at DFW?

Same thing in Chicago. Get out of OHare. Add 5 gates to what is already a beautiful facility in DuPage and own the place.

(this is why I’m not in management. I’m an idea guy but there’s probably no numbers to support it.)
I flew out of AFW multiple times in my cargo days, easy airport to navigate with 2 LONG runways, CAT 3 capability and plenty of room to expand. Would be a great move!
