American Airlines, having fought with Southwest over the issues of flight freedom from Love Field, offering all manner of incentive on its flights out of that airport, will be pulling its MD-80 mainline service out of the airport.
Effective April 10th, American Eagle will take over all service, and American insists, while they are terminating mainline service, they are not reducing the number of flights, sixteen daily to San Antonio, St. Louis, Austin, and Kansas City. American has only been back at Love since March of last year, coming in response to Southwest challenging the Wright Amendment.
We wonder how long it is before American pulls out entirely…having made their point and ironically ensuring Southwest’s dominance at Love.
