DFW Service
Just out of being merely curious, why does B6 not want to compete with AA at DFW? For what it's worth, Airtran seems to be doing alright by having service DFW-MDW/BWI/MCO/ALT. Also, it seems that they would be more limited at DAL as far as gate space goes then they would be if they went out of DFW.

On the JFK-DFW, AA does have hubs on both ends. (That didn't stop B6 picking up the JFK-SJU route). However, if my info is correct, AA is the only carrier on that route (JFK-DFW). They have a monoply. B6 would definately pick up a portion of that market if they went in that direction. On a personal note I'd rather fly B6 over AA any day. I would also prefer to fly into DFW rather than DAL (bigger airport= more admenities(i.e. restuarants)).

I'd place my money on DAL before DFW. We did have some words about the agreement that AA, WN, and the City worked out for DAL, so it leads me to believe that we have some type of interest in DAL.
