Sure, but isn't it in the interest of the airport to provide the surrounding community with the most routes and frequency possible? Whatever gets more flights into the airport is a win for everyone.
Southwest is always saying if some other airline isn't providing additional flights, surely they will. The impression given by AS before was that they had no interest in expanding, but that surely changed.
If the city tries to cut down the 2.5 non Southwest gates at the airport, I would imagine there would be anti-trust lawsuits.
