Rumor, rumors!!!

I think they have plenty of room for another airlines. It will operate at terminal E, but not at satellite E.
Let the speculation begin!

I expect it to be similar to ORD and IAH service. Limited to thr hub airports of Denver, bna, and maybe bwi.
Dulles is limited to just denver and I think to phx or las. They dropped ATL and MDW. Others might be seasonal or special event like the weekend Washington plays cowboys.

Southwest COO Andrew Watterson said flying out of DFW would allow for international operations which Love Field does not but the bulk of services would be domestic.

what might occur are connecting flights from denver or St. Louis that are stopover routes to Cancun.

That's a lot of airplanes for Southwest to pull out of its closet. I hope those planes don't come from the already threadbare intra-Calfornia schedule.

I thought its cutting service due to delivery issues with Boeing cutting 4 cities including Syracuse. It should not be operating out of multi airports like DFW and ORD. Those airports are already well served very busy and congested at times.

Boeing has a problem with the MAX. They havent delivered it yet. I think FAA is reviewing it now. Still waiting for the results from FAA approved. Probably wont see it till next month or so. If they fix it. They will delivery it.
