Why Airlines Avoid DFW

[Hamburgler]

Interesting debate! I read an article in ATW about marketing DFW. It looks like they have a really attractive package to get a domestic carrier in there--improvements to terminal E, no rent for a year, free use of ground equipment, etc. You'd think that combined with the new extended runways and hold pads would be attractive to SWA in terms of keeping costs down, and doing quick turn arounds.

I think they should keep short haul at Love to keep serving those smaller markets and do some long haul from DFW. You know they can compete at hubs, look at what they did in Philly.
