There are precedents for WN exiting a market (Denver) or airport (SFO) when expenses are too great.

Based upon precedent, the rational conclusion is that WN service from DFW, if any, would be less than that offered today at DAL. This is worse for the North Texas flyer.
WN left both Denver and SFO not primarily due to costs, but primarily due to airport congestion and delays. With SFO it was also with the added cost SAVINGS from consolidating operations.
