Answer me this,
Who wrote this?
Archived Quote on the Wright Amendment:
The Love Field Legislation was intended to settle once and for all the ‘dispute’ that has raged in the Dallas/Fort Worth area for many years. Now, TI (Texas International) seeks to reopen that fight and upset the delicate balance which has brought peace for the first time in over a decade. Congressional intent to the contrary is clear. Southwest does not object to TI using Love for intrastate flights (which apparently is all it wants to do) so long as the law is obeyed and TI’s certificate properly reflects what it may and may not do. There is simply no reason for the [Civil Aeronautics] Board to raise again the spectre of full scale commercial use of Love Field which has exacerbated this situation for so long, and which Congress has been to such pains to exorcise.” *
Answer: Southwest Airlines Company, August 23, 1980
* Response of Southwest Airlines Co. to Reply to Texas International Airlines, Inc. in Civil Aeronautics Board’s Review of Texas International Airlines, Inc. proposed service at Love Field, filed August 23, 1980, by Paul Y. Seligson, Attorney for Southwest Airlines, Co. at p.
How about this,
-- Dallas Times Herald, February 2, 1990
“We think that there is some merit to the position that there is no city in the United States that has two full-fledged hubs competing against one another successfully. There are cities that have a main airport and satellite airports which live well in a complimentary relationship, harmonious relationship, and we have to agree as a matter of logic and principle that if you allowed Love Field to come up as a full-fledged hub in opposition to DFW Airport that indeed air service to the Metroplex would suffer to some extent because basically a hub-and-spoke system depends for its success upon attracting passengers from a multitude of spokes that will fill up an airplane going to another destination. If you divide that type of operation between two airports, you’re likely to service to some of the smaller cities.” (Emphasis added)
Answer: Herb Kelleher, October 8, 1990
and old Herb also stated (same circa),
“…Southwest President Herbert Kelleher said he does not support outright repeal of the Wright Amendment because a rivalry and competition with DFW would be unhealthy.”
Hmmm. So why the change of heart?
Sorry but I just don't feel the Luv
