Southwest will likely take 2007 to build frequencies within its existing markets rather than add new cities, reports CEO Gary Kelly, especially due to concern over a recent slowing of the strong revenue and yield growth seen during the summer.

Could it be they are waiting to see what happens with the Wright Amendment first?

In an industry like the airlines, I think it's smarter to take baby steps in growth, as there are so many factors that you can't control that can make your business tumble in a hurry. Southwest has been very aggressive, and a little "regrouping" time is smart, I think.
