UA is just going back to a better schedule. They can run 12 flights a day between DAL-IAH, fill them up, and get a good yield too. During the week morning flights are full of businessmen going between the two cities.

DL is just caught up the the whole Wright mess. What needs to happen at DAL is gate cap lifted and restrictions gone so any airline can fly there if they choose to.
