Your Jim Wright article further illustrates how ridiculous the Wright Amendment is. I've seen it on another thread and the more I read it the more false the assumptions appear. From the "Danger" of operating two airports to the economic future of North Texas, the arguments are hollow. Jim Wright should be praised for brokering a difficult deal to get bond holders and the government to build DFW, but the "deal" has been honored and is now fullfilled. Anyone who thinks DFW doesn't have enough money should remember DFW is offering $22 million and a new terminal to SWA. They have cash and are used to burning it. They will continue to do so until given some competition.
Some have even said AA needs the help to "recover". AA is about to turn a profit this quarter and needs no help. Something UAL and DAL can't do this year.
Dangerkitty said:The Federal Aviation Administration correctly foresaw the growth of long-distance and international travel, requiring larger and larger aircraft with longer radius-of-maneuver requirements that would create dangerously overlapping takeoff and landing patterns if both D/FW and Love were initializing passenger flights in large aircraft.
Concerned for safety and fearful of aerial traffic jams, the FAA demanded wider separation than the close physical proximity of Love and D/FW runways.
