Southwest is already at DAL.
If you're asking does AA have a plan to deal with Southwest moving to DFW when/if the wright amendment is removed - that wouldn't make sense either. The whole reason Southwest is against the Wright Amendment is because they want to stay at DAL.
If you're asking does AA have a plan to deal with Southwest moving to DFW if the wright amendment is not removed, Southwest has already said that's not going to happen.

AA position on the WA still makes no sense either way. They are in for hard time regardless. When the WA is lifted they will have to compete on a level field (which they don't want), or (if hell freezes over and) WN is forced to move to DFW the are in for the fight of their lives (WN is not like other airlines and gonna back down from AA when they apply their fortress hub pressure). Either way you look at it, its a bad situation for AA. Why are they so adimate about it?

Quoting AAden (Reply 3): i was asking what will AA do if the wright amendement is removed and southwest is allowed to fly unristricted in and out of dal
If I am not mistaken, I read an article not to long ago saying that if the Wright Ammendment was removed DAL would ask AA to leave?
Not all of us can be heroes, some of us can only stand on the sidewalk and clap as they go by.

Regardless of what any compromise that Dallas and Ft Worth come up with. They cannot legally ask them to leave if they are able to accomodate them, unless of course they don't pay their bills there. That is unlikely. I still think it was a stupid move by AA to go back into DAL, but they still have the right to be there even if they admit they are losing money there.
