American Airlines’ pathetic campaign to <a href="http://blog.lordsutch.com/?related=2690">protect its monopolistic practices in Dallas-Fort Worth</a> has reached a new low with <a href="http://www.aa.com/content/amrcorp/pressReleases/2005_05/26_wright_response.jhtml">this jaw-droppingly asinine press release</a> that actually accuses Southwest of monopolistic behavior. On the heels of two Dallas-area congressmen introducing <a type="application/pdf" href="http://www.samjohnson.house.gov/UploadedFiles/Text%20of%20HR%202646.pdf">legislation</a> to repeal the Wright Amendment and <a href="http://www.usatoday.com/travel/flights/2005-05-27-wright-amendment_x.htm">evidence that DFW Airport tried to cover up findings by its own consultant that ending Wright would lower air fares</a>, DFW board members like Dallas’ mayor are even <a href="http://www.dfw.com/mld/dfw/business/11747282.htm">recognizing that Wright’s days are numbered</a>—but American still isn’t budging.
