LOL! Not a chance! AA controls way too much in DFW. Yes, it’s their main hub, home base for headquarters, training, etc. With the vast resources in the DFW metroplex available when it comes to hiring, cost of living for employees, business friendly state, no state income tax, etc., not a chance! Way too many companies still relocating to the DFW area. Throw in AA strong arms their way to shut down any airline they feel could be a threat and it’s allowed by the powers that be in Dallas, Ft Worth and Texas….no way would they give up DFW as their home. They are currently trying to shut down JSX. They leased gates at Love Field when that airport was expanded to prevent other airlines from being able to expand within this market. They shut down Legend Airlines. And if the mayor of McKinney gets his way and they build a commercial terminal at McKinney (TKI), I’m sure AA will jump in and lease as many of the proposed 16 gates to keep other airlines out. They might fly one flight a day to somewhere but that is it. And they would be allowed to do such.
