edit- I have found nothing to support the claim that the NBC show LAX was partially filmed at Alliance airport.
- I cannot find any references that Alliance Airport was even suggested to become a reliever airport for DFW. I worked at Alliance, in what is now the Bell Helicopter facility, from 1996-2001, and the only talk was that Alliance would always remain an industrial airport. Also, the industrial nature of intermodalism and hub warehousing at Alliance Airport were the basis of my Master's thesis at Embry-Riddle, where I found not one reference to passenger service.

- I also cannot find any evidence that AFW was to be relief for DFW and request citation for the claim that DFW was over capacity. DFW does not have capacity issues and still has plenty of room for many more terminals and even room for another planned runway. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.170.56.65 (talk) 19:24, 4 September 2014 (UTC)
- I'm reviving this debate and I've added a citation tag to the article. My recollection is that the proposal to introduce passenger service from AFW had nothing to do with a lack of capacity at DFW and everything to do with the city of Dallas's attempts to lift Wright Amendment restrictions at Love, which was adamantly opposed by Ft. Worth politicians, who floated the AFW passenger idea as a counter-threat if Dallas continued to push the proposal. Furthermore, per my recollection, politicians on both sides used excessive capacity at DFW as an excuse to accuse the other side of bad faith—Ft. Worth politicians accused Dallas of trying to siphon passenger traffic away from DFW, while Dallas politicians in turn accused Ft. Worth of using AFW to siphon off cargo traffic. The whole thing got really ugly, lawsuits were filed, both cities eventually decided to bury the hatchet, and the Wright Amendment lived on for about another decade. I'm still researching this and I hope to improve the article once I get the story straight. Carguychris (talk) 16:04, 1 February 2019 (UTC)
