I don''t see SWA rushing to Washington to get the WA overturned. If they REALLLLY wanted too,SWA could easily do it. They like it the way it is.

The story I''ve always heard is that Southwest remains "passionately neutral" on the subject of the Wright Amendment, in accordance with a "gentleman''s agreement" made several years ago.

I guess the thing that bothers me most about the WA is the sheer arbitrariness of using state boundaries as a limit.
A distance radius would seem more logical.
Just for fun, I did a quick study with a ruler and road atlas: Using a 500-mile radius as a limit, all present airports qualify, MCI, STL, and MEM easily fall within the imaginary limit, BNA just squeaks in, while DEN just barely misses.

Thats part of it but I''ve also read somewhere that DAL was their most profitable hub with great revenue per passenger in their system. So why rock the boat?

Yes....sorry about that. I spent too much time writing a response that it must have timed out. When I saw that everything was wiped out when I clicked "submit", I didn''t have the heart to re-type it all at that time. I''ll try again later today since I know that everyone is in suspense...
