And by the way, anyone who considers "low fares" as nothing more than a BS argument is ignoring the greatest force in attracting passengers and revenue. Providing "low fares" is the foundation of a highly successful business plan with a 30-year track record of profitability. Care to debate that...
Not Quite, what I wanted but good try. Tell us why it benefits the community to have WN at DAL instead of DFW. Remember your business plan does not count. The public does not care. No justification of how you do business. No low fares BS. Just tell us why it is better for WN to stay at DAL than...
Can anyone one from WN actually give a reason for the repeal of the WA that does not revolve around the justification and or protection of your business plan?
Now that is the funniest thing I have heard in a long time. You all really want us to believe that the flying public is funding your efforts to repeal the Wright Amendment? That the public instead of WN paid for the bill boards, print adds, tv spots?
Everyone points to the taxes that WN pays to the city like it should give the airline Carte Blanche over the city in all matters concerning Love Field. Your comment about bribes at City Hall makes me wonder if you are bragging.
We all wish our tax rates with the City County and School District...
Funny thing is that the airport cannot tell any airline where it can or cannot fly from. Besides Southwest is the villian in this instance and all the harping about low fares will not change that.
luver and ramper,
Count the empty gates at DFW then tell us that the airport is not underutilized. I believe the third runway at Sea Tac is to improve airport operations in bad weather not for capacity.
Hutchinson only offered the carrot to WN to say she offered a compromise knowing that WN...
Both Sea Tac and DFW are underutilized. Why should we spend tax money to subsidize your business plan? Stay at Sea Tac and move to DFW and everyones problem is solved.
The compromise offered by Hutchinson and the comments made by Miller are a way of interjecting local control back into the debate. Miller realizes the City is powerless against WN because of previous court rulings. However she also realizes that not asserting the city into the resolution of the...
What is wrong with the Free Market competition at Sea Tac?
Oh yes that is right Southwest does not want to compete with the rest of the airlines on an even playing field. Anyone who supports the WA will find this very familar.
Ask yourself who has who over the barrel the city or the airline? Who has made it clear on numerous times that it would sue to protect its squatters rights at the airport.
Do you actually think it would have been possible for the City of Dallas to prevent Ft Worth and Perot Jr. from building Alliance with WN continuing operations at DAL?
