Regarding the Love Field/DFW controversy: On a September flight from DFW (at a non-rush hour and good weather) the time lapse from the closing of cabin door until we actually took off was more than 45 minutes. It seemed most of the time was perhaps waiting for permission to take off due fact we were on a small carrier and it seemed planes from the largesr carrier at DFW were allowed to break in line ahead of us. From Love Field, it seems that often in 45 minutes from closing the cabin door, flights to Houston, Austin, etc are at least starting their descent to these airports---I would suggest Southwest should authorize a survey to back up this observation as a further argument for doing away with the Wright amendment.
