What % of the total flight operations of LUV did WN account for before the Wright Amendment?

Were the rules @ the time of the inception of the WA not clear - sign it, move to DFW, and have the rights to operate anywhere, or do not sign it, and forfeit those rights.

If the WA is to be repealed, then it seems only fair to allow conditions to be returned to the same way they were @ the time of the WA being enacted. In short, WN should be required to voluntarily forfeit all of the gate space they have @ LUV (ownership, lease, under the table understanding, etc) acquired by virtue of every other carrier leaving LUV for DFW. My understanding is virtually all of Southwest's current gate space was acquired in this manner, allowing them to operate @ a distinct advantage, a virtual monopoly in the airport closest to the city. It was a brilliant move on Southwest's part @ the time, but the proverbial chickens have now come home to roost.

AA (and others) voluntarily vacated LUV for the ability to fly to anywhere they please, allowing WN to take it over. They must now be allowed to voluntarily return to the same airport they left, rather than a fortress hub with no available gate space. Or keep the status quo, and require Southwest, like every other airline, to either vacate LUV or accept the limitations of operating out of LUV.
