After
34 years in the air, Southwest Airlines has brought the Freedom to Fly to
59½ of the 60 cities we serve-the exception being our hometown airport,
Dallas Love Field. While our Love Field Customers have enjoyed the low fares
and smiles of our shorthaul service, a 1979 federal law known as the Wright
Amendment makes it illegal to fly or advertise flights from Love Field to
points beyond the four states surrounding Texas, plus Alabama, Mississippi,
and Kansas.
The Wright Amendment has a strong history of stifling competition and
creating high fares. Simply put, the Wright Amendment is wrong! It is
time to Set Love Free and repeal Wright now! Southwest Airlines is aggressively
fighting and lobbying against this protectionist legislation that not
only stifles competition, but also limits the choices and creates higher
fares for you, the consumer. Please join us in our effort to Set Love
Free! |
