There's one thing that you have to keep in mind with the whole ATL thing. Part of the appeal of ATL is the airport itself, and not simply the Atlanta market. Serving SAV would be nice as far as getting local Atlanta area passengers flying Southwest, but that's not the whole picture. Do you think ATL is the busiest airport in the world because of the city of Atlanta?... No,.. Atlanta is a decent sized city but it's air traffic is disproportionate to the size of the city itself .. It's the busiest because so much traffic moves THROUGH ATL. In order to benefit from that it would require Southwest to actually operate IN ATL..
