Here's what I don't get: Why does Southwest so piggishly
refuse to operate any gates out of DFW?
They operate out of Hobby and Intercontinental, don't they?
Why is Houston special?
I do think that the Wright Amendment long ago outlasted its
purpose -- I *think*. At any rate, the neighborhoods surrounding
Love Field aren't going to be pleased if a bunch of jets bearing
enough fuel for longhaul traffic start taking off from there
again. It just seems like Southwest could operate its longhaul
business from DFW just as profitably if it wanted.
