So... this is running a perfect world schedule with 45-60 minute turns and some buffer time on the gates. Apparently VX has 4 overnights in DAL each night, and could easily increase that to 6.

But, I believe AA would rather have Alaska grow at DAL and take traffic from WN and at least keep that "within the family" than another airline or Delta. I think there's some room for SEA/PDX and possibly a few of the markets I identified already. VX seems to be using DAL as a connect point anyway, with many LAX/SFO - DCA/LGA flights linked or connecting in DAL.
