What's with Dallas Love Field?

It seems none of the planes (any Boeing or Airbus 310) can land there. There's no political restrictions I can see and the runaway is plenty long. So much potential customers there waiting to be served. The year is 1986 is that matters.

1500mi i think

ahh thanks. Makes sense all the routes are for Texas or neighboring states. For other airports with milage limits it give the political limitations message.

1500mi i think

No. DAL does not have restrictions on distance. It only has restrictions on specific states. For instance, all flights must be to states that touch Texas with some exceptions. Wright Amendment specifically outlines which states.

The seat loop hole was used in the real world by a major start up. But this airline got sued to oblivion by AA and DFW.

AA used to 'abuse' this by doing ERJ's to ORD. Delta also had service to MEM.

Wright Amendment restrictions will be completely removed in 2014... Barring restrictions to remove those restrictions... (Yup...) Those will be trivial s*** for AE like gate numbers, etc.

I was thinking of LGA

We should make a preset response

i noticed DCA and LGA nver have issues with anyone.

Because LGA and DCA can launch any sized plane out to 1500 miles for LGA and 1400 miles for DCA. That is what throws people off about Love, the seat restriction is what kills them. Plus they see a 767-200 flying Love to Houston and it confuses them.

Flights from the adjacent states are unrestricted (New Mexico, Louisiana, Arkansas, and Oklahoma).

About twenty years after the law was passed, Kansas, Mississippi, and Alabama were added to the unrestricted list.  And then several years after that, Missouri was as well.  I'm unaware as to whether or not 56+seat flights from those four states are allowed in AE though.

For future reference it is a 56 seat limit per plane out of Love.
