So DFW would handle connections/international and DAL O&D? Just give SWA E Satellite. AA is under utilizing it. D for CUN, CZM and SJD arrivals. E satellite is not suitable for WN ops. Those are regional jet gates, and even converting it back to mainline, it would still be undersized. WN needs ...

It also seems like they have big plans for BNA as well, they’ll need resources there. I could see DEN, DAL/DFW and BNA as their top 3 stations in the future. I think that’s the long term pl...

How has the adding of ORD expanded WN's reach in the Chicago area beyond what they had in MDW? I don't hear a whole lot about O'Hare being a bonanza for WN but maybe it is. There are some similarities to look at. I fly to Chicago 6-8 times per year and switched almost exclusively to ORD when WN sta...
