When DFW was first built, no one lived anywhere near the place, and
for Southwest it would of been foolish to move to DFW when the taxi-cab
fare would match the airfare.
Nothing's changed on that regard. ($50 each-way from DFW to downtown
Dallas)
But now a lot of folks live closer to DFW than Love Field, so it would
definitely make sense.
And DFW rarely has the congestion problems that WN avoids like the
plague.
If WN served DFW, and since it would not be subject to the DAL
restrictions on where it could fly... I, and likely many others would
pay the same or more to fly WN just to send "a message" to AA. An
interesting situation.
