Didn't they fly F100s from DAL Love Field to LGA, MDW, LAS, and LAX? How long did they do that after Legend went away? Why did they stop? Ridiculous.

General,

Did Delta keep its capacity the same in ATL to the west coast after it ran Jet Blue out of town????????????

Pretty much. For a lot longer than AA stayed in DAL. We still have 10 or so widebodies or 757s from ATL to LAX. Remember, we still have 3 Airtran 737-700s to compete with. I think AA pulled their F100s out of Love Field a week after Legend went away. That was so obvious, and that hurts all of us. They should have stayed there for a year longer to prove they weren't predatory.

AA announced that they were pulling out of DAL ( yet again) on September 12, 2001. Legend Airlines died in early 2001.

Shortly thereafter, they went to the City of Dallas looking to get out of their long term agreement for the 3 gates at DAL. The City of DAL wouldn't hear it....so AA has been paying approx $300,000 per year to the city of Dallas for those 3 gates, that we are now finding out, need lots of work to get them operating.

Oh my God!! Does this mean AA is actually going to have to compete for their customers? The way they act they should change their name to "Marxist Airlines".

They flew the F100s out of Love for the full Summer of 2001, even after Legend went away? Really?

Legend stopped flying in December 2000, American pulled out of DAL the following September.

<stir_ants>Well, speaking of "legends"... if some of these legend or legacy airlines like Delta, United, USAir, or NWA would just GO AWAY completely instead of floundering around in BK protection AAmerican would be just fine. Let CAL and AAmerican (the only 2 true legacy airlines that should still be here) thrive. Poop or get off the pot!</stir_ants>

I agree. But first, we need hear some more whining from Delta telling us how wonderful they are.
