Lowecur, could you quote your source for this little tidbit of information? I'm with Hal on this one...at no point do I remember DFW offering to build us a new terminal. And I can't see why they would, when their main argument is that they already have all this free space from the gates that Delta vacated.
In fact, I remember at one point reading an article (heck, it may have been posted here) that outlined the fine print to DFW's little $22 million dollar "free rent" offer to Southwest. To put it lightly, it wasn't as sweet of deal as it seemed, in that we would have been required to put a heavy number of flights in there within a year, on routes that weren't already served by other carriers at the airport. So in other words, it would have set us up to fail from the very beginning.
