As a courtesy, I supplied you with the definition of "destination" in the context of the quote, along with a list of the specific destinations being referred to.
You responded with "All that's besides the point." No, really, it's not beside the point. It IS the point. If instead of saying, "Still wondering what the definition of 'destination' is", you said "I know what WN is saying, but I wish they would've said non-stop destinations from DAL instead of destinations from DAL." then it would be clear that you're not wondering, you're just complaining.
I'm not assuming a single thing. The 15 new DAL destinations in Oct. and Nov., the time frame that GK was speaking of, were announced a long time ago. I gave you a list because you were "wondering." WN wasn't using this to, as you say in your complaint, "announce they will be offering new non-stop service from DAL to 15 existing destinations."
Additionally, news articles announce new lines on the map as "new destinations from ABC" all of the time, because they are new destinations from ABC!
Perhaps you should take your own advice:
The use of 'wondering' was more sarcastic than anything else, but I guess that's lost on such a condescending poster such as yourself. And I didn't say I know what WN is talking a out. More like if that is what they meant then they need to quit mixing up their terms.
Hell, I don't even know what your point in this thread is other than to defend WN's use of a term that they want to utilize for two completely separate concepts. Or perhaps you just feel like being argumentative. Especially in light of quite a few other posters in this thread also being critical of GK's misleading statements.
Discussing this any further with you is just wasted effort on my part.
