Markets lacking Southwest service   remove

Due to congestion at certain airports and intense competition from airlines such as Delta, Northwest, Continental and others,   remove

Severe overscheduling of flights at these airports creates rampant flight delays which would hamper Southwest's business model of keeping its planes in service in the air as much as possible.   remove
