As an AMR stockholder, I must recluse myself from this dicussion.
"This puts Congress in a very bad situation," Hutchison said.
Pushed through in 1979 by then House of Representatives majority leader, Texas Democrat Jim Wright, the law restricts direct service from Love Field to other cities in Texas and several nearby states. It was intended to boost the prospects for then fledgling DFW.
How can the airlines and local officials work it out if it's against federal law to "work it out".
Bad situation? Just do your job, Senator. Say Yes or No to repealing of the Wright Amendment and take the consequences either way.
Southwest just moved into the Denver market starting Jan 1, and rates from Phoenix to Denver (a short hop) that were previously $150+ each way, will be premiering at $59 one way, thanks to Southwest Airlines! Frontier Airlines stock dropped bigtime on the announcement! Go Southwest! -- 'cause where Southwest goes, low prices and competition come!
Wright is Wrong!
What happened to states' Wrights? I don't really understand the issue here but I couldn't resist the urge to make a bad pun. I do know that if you are sitting in Bachman Lake park feeding the birds those Southwest jets look really big.
REPEAL THE WRIGHT AMENDMENT!
This was kinda like when Denver built Penis Intl Airport and shut down Stapleton right after Stapleton expanded its terminal space.
When is Congress going to allow Texans to fly wherever they want from Love Field, and not require those of us in the Dallas area to pay through the nose and fly American??
Missouri??
What kind of deal is it we get to fly to Missouri? Do they have cities there?
