First off, again, DAL airport should have been torn down - not exist 35 years later after DFW was built. If those UA flts are so full, why is UA going to start 90 min turns with RJ's and tying up 2 gates? Something sinks in the BIG D. Leasing one gate to WN. Why not 20 flts a day using 2 gates to one city?
If CO or UA was making so much money, why don't they turn the planes in 30 min. Like in every other airline/airport in the world? RJ's. Come on. They are playing games. DL would do the same, but this is between the city of Dallas and the airlines. UA with 12 flts a day with 2 gates with RJ's.

Why would UA release such GREAT NEWS on a press release.
UA and at the city council meeting (Dallas). Look it up. Try Google.
I am the person "blowing smoke" - I guess. Look it up.
The city of Dallas, TX city council needs to step up and allow airlines to compete at "LOVE" field. This includes every airline.
