That is everybody but ONE Airline ........ Southwest
Now 30 years or so later SWA is crying the "it isn't fair" game.
If SWA wants to fly long haul have them move to DFW
LIKE EVERYBODY ELSE DID 30 YEARS AGO.
The law was written to utilize DFW.
Why should everyone else move back to Love just to make SWA happy.
My main complaint is that SWA wants their cake (see Love field) and to eat
it to (see money....greed)
If SWA wants to serve the country out of Dallas simply move in to DFW
slap up a few signs, buy a few gates and bring over a few 737's.
It does not sound too complicated to me!
Whose stance is better for the Metroplex traveling public?
Air fares would come down in the new markets SWA would serve, benefiting everyone except AMR.
Not that AMR management cares. They want the government to keep its hand in the market, preventing free and open competition.
