I wonder if this will be the un-doing of the Write and Shelby Amendments. Could it happen? If Southwest threatens to leave Love Field (which they wouldn't go, but let's just say for grins), would a Love Field lobbying group go to Congress and tell them that the Amendments are killing Love Field. That would be interesting, especially knowing that those Amendments were passed to protect little ol' DFW from big, bad Love. Now Love needs protection from DFW.
