I was looking this over. This legislation simply amends the 1979 Wright Amendment, which restricts an air carrier to DFW or DAL. Based on air carrier's actions, they have all either given up their operations to be at DAL or vice versa.
It will be interesting how both SWA and AA react to this since it opens up more competition from DAL.

It couldn't be the Wright Amendments doing, as it was repealed. Maybe something else?
United flew into both as of a couple of years ago when SWA made them an offer they couldn't refuse...$$$. United still has the DAL gates but leases them to SWA.
American had gates at DAL and during the Wright Amendment but was forced to turn them over as a condition of the USair merger, which is where VA and Alaska got the gate space.
Delta has gate space at both too.

American Eagle had gates at DAL and left because they could never make the routes profitable. Delta Connection shares gates at DAL with SWA.
Of the gates at Dallas Love: 2 are leased to United and subleased to SWA. 2 are leased to VA. 16 are leased to SWA.

ERJ junior bases and reserve
Can someone please give me a rough idea of how long people have been sitting reserve in any of the West coast bases? And can a West coast base reserve schedule be built with 3 days off in a row? Thanks

Here is more interesting reading from the Federal Court of Appeals from 2 months ago regarding Dallas Love gate wars. This one between Delta, Southwest Airlines, and the City of Dallas.

The most interesting thing in this article is that the 2 United gates used to belong to ExpressJet, and United assumed the gates from them.
It looks to me like the limiting factor is the 20 gates and what air carrier has the gate leased, and not anything else. That is great news for SKW E175 pilots as we will have more routes to fly come August.

Anyone SLC based know of we still have to pay $45/month for employee parking when we get domiciled in SLC?
Also, once we get our bid transfer since it's at the end of the month do you still have to fly the next month at your old domicile since you'd already have bid for that domicile or how does that work?
