I guess no doesn't mean no for Delta

DOT: Allow Delta to serve Love Field

The Department of Transportation has told the city of Dallas that it must accommodate Delta at Dallas Love Field, a coveted airport with limited gate space.
?The city has the legal obligation to reasonably accommodate all air carriers seeking to provide service at Love Field,? the DOT wrote in a letter to the city.
Love Field is dominated by Southwest Airlines, which leases 90 percent of the airport?s 20 gates from the city. The remaining two gates are leased by Virgin America. Southwest has been trying to force Delta, which currently operates five daily flights from Love Field to Atlanta, out of the airport by refusing to share gate space.
Delta is currently operating its service on a Southwest gate under a temporary agreement, which ends on July 6. Delta believes that the city has the authority under Southwest?s lease to require it to make room for Delta.

What's ironic about this is that Delta used this tactic to keep SWA and others out of ATL for at least the past decade.

Now that they have officially violated the new law, I think SWA should press to test with international out of LUV and try to add more gates!!!

What contract/ legal right does Delta have signed to stay at DAL?

You had a base at DFW 12 miles away, which you closed in 2004 but you could grow there?

The same bull******************** keeps Uber and Lyft out of cities. If you can do it better, you should be able to. Let the customer decide, not bureaucrats. This isn't the USSR. I'd love to fly another airline out of ATL.

Maybe if you say NO on Guard that would help
