Southwest announces potential flights from Love Field in gate fight

[HowardBorden]

Southwest Airlines Co. is raising the ante over Dallas Love Field.

The airline said Monday it'll begin flying next year from Dallas to Boston; Oakland and San Jose, Calif.; Portland, Ore.; and Panama City Beach, Fla. A law banning those flights with large planes like Southwest's Boeing 737s expires in October. Southwest recently announced the first 15 cities it'll serve.

Southwest says that if it gets two more gates that American Airlines must sell, it'll fly to San Francisco and Sacramento, Calif.; Seattle; Minneapolis; Philadelphia; Newark, N.J.; Detroit; Indianapolis; Memphis, Tenn.; Charlotte and Raleigh-Durham, N.C.; and Charleston, S.C.

Delta Air Lines Inc. and Virgin America also want the gates. The Justice Department will decide. American agreed to sell them to settle a government lawsuit against its merger with US Airways.

Sort of baffled that two gates makes this much difference. I thought once the wright went away, the flood gates would open. Looks more like a trickle. Hard to believe they are passing on long haul over LBB or HRL.

History being repeated. Govt getting competition out of Southwest's way.

Read further that Delta responds by claiming the gates should become "common use." Good move IMO.

I can see some of DL's application maybe being denied, but the 6 daily 717 flights from ATL? That would be beneficial to the folks in and around downtown Dallas, right? Hmmmm.


Bye Bye---General Lee

Repeated?

Wrong again. You've yet to show a single instance of "government getting competition out of Southwest's way." Not one. Everything you've claimed in this regard over the years has been demonstrated to be completely false. Every....single....time.

But I gotta' hand it to you, Flop-- you keep trying.

This is from a guy that sees black helicopters at every SW gate.

Flop, I'm always amazed how you continue to embarrass yourself. Well done sir!

At least Jenny didn't go down the same road and actually made a rational comment.

Bubba: Speak to what has just happened. DOJ is clearing the way for your airline. It's a reality, and it's going to remind a lot of folks of what indeed did happen all those years ago.

All those years ago? You actually believe the stuff you post?

You mean like being handcuffed by the Wright Amendment and still kicking everyone's tail? Yea, indeed I remember how that happened.

Your debating skills aren't even rational Flop.
