Steve100- Sorry, I thought this was "common knowlege" so I did not post it.
A Fed Appeals Court allowed carriers to provide service "anywhere" provided they adhere to certain restrictions. This upheld a DOT ruling allowing LD flights limited to 56 pax. This Wright ststute forbids Love field flights beyond Texas but excludes flights with less than 56 pax!
AMR and Ft Worht had suedDallas argued long haul flights would violate bond convenants. Again the dispute was "inspired" by Legend Air and their efforts to fly out of Love Field.
Now, AMR will also begin service to/from Love (ORD & LAX) on May 1, 00!
