I don't think it was despite. I think it molded SWA into the airline it is today...shorthaul with quick turns because that is what they were forced to do to be successful. It made them different than any other airline out there, which is just one of the reasons they were successful
All the same. That's ancient history.
With or without the extra two gates SWA has a near monopoly on Love field. This means the short haul that the airline started with is going to be sacrificed for more cost effective longer stage length flights. The situation for SWA is fantastic. The new terminal is great, Love field is more convenient to the Dallas side. I predict the cities that SWA promised with the extra two gates will come eventually anyway.
