My thoughts exactly. This couldn't have happened at O'Hare and couldn't happen at DFW, but it will if Wright is repealed.

I saw last week where Dallas Mayor, Laura Miller, just happened to realize that Love was losing money - some 5.5 million I think the article said. She wants to raise landing fees at Love. Apparently, SW pays something like .34 per 1,000 lbs to Love whereas DFW fees are around $1.40. If those landing fees are raised to something close to the fees at DFW, there's not much incentive for Southwest to have Wright repealed.

Sure there is. Time. At its small airports, Southwest can have a plane touchdown, taxi, park, unload, reload, taxi, and take off quickly. Indeed, Chicago-Columbus-BWI is less than an hour longer than Chicago-BWI. Big airports wouldn't work with a business model that requires rapid flight turnaround.

Well, wasn't it an L1011 that came in low and decapitated someone on 114 at the north end of the airport before it hit one of the fuel tanks on the NW end?
