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landing fees are raised to something close to the fees at DFW, there's not much incentive for Southwest to have Wright repealed.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.

I live near DFW. American Airlines has a turnaround time of 40 minutes - that's pretty fast. If Wright is repealed and American and other airlines start flying out of Love, Southwest won't be turning their flights around as quickly as they are.
