I don't live in Dallas, so the Wright amendment affects me minimally, so I guess that doesn't afford me an opinion in this
matter. But as a libertarian, I'll say that there's
no way that
more government imposed regulation is keeping prices
down. It's laughable.
Of course, those that want to close Love Field (in favor of D/FW) have their spin machines, too. Check AA's site
here, and I don't even know who's paying for this
one.Short answer: Southwest Airlines is making money, in a time when other airlines claim they need support from the Fed to stay afloat. Maybe instead of stifling SWA's market we look at what they're doing right and transpose that on the rest of the industry, instead of trying to trample on their hub.
