Re: DFW Airport

Hawaiian also does flying to Japan, South Korea, Australia, and New Zealand. Government would probably prefer to keep an american airline on those routes. Their flying to American Samoa is likely also heavy cargo and the island relies on it since no other passenger airline operates to it.

Re: Addison Misc. Development

After Flying Saucer, Sherlocks was one of the best places over there. Soon to be replaced with another Uptown/Deep Ellum styled bar for the pearl clutchers scared to go into the city.

It is a huge space and wouldn't be surprised if they gut it all and turn it into 2-3 places if the demand is there.

Not a complete apples to apples comparison but most of Buckhead in Atlanta is rather pedestrian hostile and the building is next to a very busy 6 lane road.

Re: DFW Airport

SWA would only need 1-2 gates to get 20-30 departures a day. Probably a similar gameplan as IAH or ORD if they expand to DFW. They have 2 gates and 28 departures out of ORD.

I'm still a doubter and this is a public way to tell Dallas to get started on expansion plans for Love.
