Southwest's new schedule of MDW-DAL and ATL-DAL opens up more DAL one-stops and connections as well.
I suspect very poorly, but I don't have any data. Everyone who's tried to challenge US at PHL lately has done poorly. And Spirit is practically set up to fail with limited schedules and a pretty fierce competitive response from US. It is unimaginable to me that they're not losing buckets of money on their PHL-DFW flight.
