tusphotog,
Thank you for your suggestion. I was looking at the 9/04 to 10/3 2009 schedule this morning for Tul and DAL and was shocked or maybe stunned to see no flights posted on Tuesday and Wednesday. I am hoping that this is a schedule glitch.
I will have to try that routing you suggested. I did post a note to SW saying that as a companion pass holder for 12 or 13 years that I have done my part to keep them in the air. I also saw in the Tulsa World newspaper that departing passenger counts were 20.9% down from May 2008.
