Not true, as we've already discussed.

And AA probably pays for roughly 80% of the cost...
There are projects at airports that don't benefit all airlines equally. That's the nature of the beast. Reference the people mover at ATL. Furthermore, DFW has to plan for the future, not for the here and now. If DFW didn't have Terminal D right now, where exactly would there be space to add more carriers to help diminish AA's much-loathed dominance at DFW?
Not only do you have to have a vision for the future, but you have to appropriately
plan for the future.
The
BTC report says something very apropos (which I have said as well):
WN’s actions have resulted in a chilling of new entry at DFW which now has a tremendous amount of excess gate capacity. As a result, business travelers, and the organizations that fund business travel activities, over the past 18 months have not received the competitive benefits that such new entry brings. As this controversy lingers, the forgone competitive benefits to business travelers grow.
Settle the Wright Fight and DFW's vision for the future will be able to come to fruition sooner.
