I would love to see more DEN service. SW now has 4 gates in DEN and only 20/21 flights a day. They are looking like a CLE or ISP in terms of gate usage. just my thoughts......... SW is certainly putting yield pressure on US out of PHL.
As I scrolled down and read the press release I didn't hold my breath while looking for a new service announcement involving DTW. I agree that SWA will only go where they can make money, and that 'freedom' will not happen on NWA's turf. But don't get mad at me making that statement. Next week I'm flying from DTW to PHL via MDW on SWA for $295. return instead of paying $660. for a return flight from DTW to PHL on NWA.
