throwaway_0226··on Sky High Sabotage: Major Airlines Are Using TSA to Shut Down Competitor
This again ...

This happens once every decade at Lovefield.

(I've lived in Dallas my entire life and am in my 50s).

About once a decade, a new "business travel" airline starts flying at Lovefield.

They get a waver to fly because they remove enough seats from the plane so that it gets classified as a business airline and/or charter plane. Or their seats are only first class, which gets a different designation. Etc

And then, if they gain any traction - AA and SW find a law/regulation to put them out of business.

This isn't the first time, and it won't be the last.
