I called Southwest again today while I was in the car. I explained my prior call as well as my post here which was debated as proprietary information which would never be released via the Customer Service line.
I was assured that there is nothing secret about which airports that Southwest intends to add to their list and that I should rest assured that Knoxville TN is not one of those locations, at least not in the foreseeable future.
In addition, I called McGhee Tyson airport and asked about Southwest being a future carrier. After being passed to a few people, I was told that there is no information as to when or if Southwest would use their airport. I also brough up the 2015 renovation of the airport which was intended to "lure" Southwest which didn't happen. I was told that "obviously that didn't work".
So, there you go. The only thing left to do is to invoke my journalist credentials and write a story document sources. But, I'm not that interested.
At this point, I'd suggest waiting another 52 years and see if things change.

Aloha! I was just cleaning up my bookmarks after my Hawaii trip and decided to vist here. It would be great if SWA starts to fly to Hawaii. If they will still allow 2 suitcases inlcuded in the fare as they do for mainland travel. Heck I would be ok if just 1 suitcase was included. My family and I just went to Hawaii. Had to fly on a different carrier than SWA of course, but I don't fly other airlines very often. In fact the last time I flew another airline was when we went to Hawaii two years ago on Delta. This time I booked on United about a week before that debalce with the man being dragged off the plane. So we just had to hope for the best. We flew regular economy, and it was pretty basic. I remember the old days when we could bring luggage to check-in, and it didn't cost another $25 each. And we didn't all have to have carrry-on suitcases because of it. Now it requires real strategy to go on a trip to Hawaii. United did not impress me at all. Even the gate attendant from Kahului, Maui was sort of rude and asked everybody she check boarding passes for if they were going to check in their carry on piece. It was the way she said it, that just rubbed me the wrong way. We had more legroom on a 20 minute flight from Oahu to Maui on Hawaiian Air than we did on an eight hour flight from Houston to Honolulu on United. And no meals were included in either of our flights back to the mainland even though they were 6-8 hours long. Jeez. Yes, you could purchase, and I did, but I'm paying over $1,100 for a single RT ticket here. Anyway, would love to hear about your experience flying to Hawaii on any carrier lately.

@MilesDS,
We actually do have a tool that does this! Check it out here.
You can reach it by going to Southwest.com > Click "Flight" in the upper right corner > Flight Schedules. Once you've reached this screen, just fill in the boxes and select either a "daily" or "weekly" view. You'll be able to see all the days we operate flights on your selected route.
