Thank you for your letter to Secretary of Transportation Ray LaHood, supporting the application 

of Southwest Airlines (Southwest) for two within-perimeter slot exemptions at Ronald Reagan 

Washington National Airport (DCA). Southwest proposes to serve Houston's William P. Hobby 

Airport with one nonstop round trip per day from DCA. Secretary LaHood asked that I respond 

to you on his behalf. 

We received Southwest's application on December 5, 2012. Other timely applications were 

received from JetBlue Airways, proposing one nonstop round trip to Jacksonville International 

Airport, Florida, and from US Airways, proposing one nonstop round trip to Will Rogers World 

Airport in Oklahoma City. 

As the matter is still pending, I cannot comment on the merits of the points raised in your letter. 

However, I can assure you that all applicationsreceived by the U.S. Department of 

Transportation will be given due and careful consideration. 

The Department's action on this matter is being administered through a public docket, which 

allows all interested parties the opportunity to comment. Following our normal practice, I an1 

placing a copy of your letter and this response in docket number DOT-OST-2000-7182. 

I appreciate your interest in this matter. 

Sincerely yours,

Dear Mr. Secretary: 

DialogUe on Oh·ersity. of which I am president. a non-profit educational organization. is proud to 

have been associate-d with Southwest Airlines for sc,•cral years as a Community Partner. We have 

utilized the company's excellent air services. moreover, for travel in connection with our 

organization's work. It is our understanding that Southwest Airlines has requested permission for 

the use of certain now a'•ailable slots at the Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (DCA), 

for ptoposed use in service to the Hobby Airport at Houston, Texas. It appears that at this time -

perhaps surprisingly - no direct air service between these two major air terminals is available, 

Southwest, in seeking use of the slots, would offer quite admirable services and would do so under a 

notably economical fare structure. This would offer relief from a state of affairs in which this route 

is badly undcrservcd by air transport sen•ices, and in particular air rranspott at the economical rates 

Southwest is in a position to offer. 

The stimulus of vigorous competi~ion, together with the relath•cly low fares that would be on offer 

for the traveling public through the entry of Southwest Aidines on this important route, would 

evidently redound greatly tO the advantage of trav~lcrs, business and pleasure passengers alike, 

seeking to use a D.C. - Houston service. The availability of low-cost sen·icc, moreover, would 

significantly enlarge the volume of passengers (an increase annually in aggregate passenger trips 

estimated by the airline to be in the. range of tens of thousands - to be accommodated by usc of 

relatively large, I43-passenger aircraft). with a benefit to the flying community that would measure 

some millions of dollars in welfare ermal\ccment to d\e national economy. 

In ''iew of the above we respectfully ask that rhe Department of T rat1sporration give favorable 

consideration to the request of Southwest Airlines with respect co the DCA slots being sought for 

the DCA - Houston Hobby route. W c will be appreciative of your consideration.
