Maybe SWA will buy us. I think that if DFW is your home you are destined to commute the rest of your life

The 320 can't make it coast to coast reliably in the winter going westbound.
Airbus is working on a software fix* to improve MTOW to fix this but in the meantime the A320 in SLC makes more sense with the 73N on the coasts...
I'd imagine all flavors of the maddog to be concentrated east.
This is all pure speculation

It involves a load alleviation logic that reduces wing loads automatically by affecting the ailerons and spoilers similar to the -700.

If East includes MSP and DTW you are correct.
