Hold on.. that ridiculous waste of time known as momentum is a yearly thing at Alaska?

Makes sense? Maybe. Probably cheaper for them to have a domicile there instead of NY. Problem is DAL is gate contstrained and adding flights there will never happen. Not sure if there are any more growth opportunities in DFW. Also, they didn't really ADD any flying. Just replaced the Airbus NY and DC routes with the EMB. Dropped the LAS route and replaced it with DAL-SEA. I think the only route they "added" was SJC or SAN ?? And that was also EMB route. There's only so much they can do with 2 gates. Anyways.. I'd Still love to see a Dallas base!

Added (Yes SkyWest) SAN, SJC, PDX, and SEA. Took away LAS and switched LGA and DCA to SkyWest. Went from around 12 departures a day to 19-20. So yes they added flying. Don't need to grow DAL after that, just "mature" those routes to an Airbus and bing bang boom!
