Depends on your definition of "major airline". Southwest Airlines hasn't filed bankruptcy. At 145 million+ pax a year, I'd consider them major.

The Wright Amendment is specific to Dallas/Love Field traffic and contiguous flights in relation to states not adjacent to Texas (all relating back to establishing the then brand new DFW airport as a regional transpo hub).
In other words, legislators and courts sticking their dick in the mash potatoes again.
They said it will definitely not affect AA Miles. (Whew. I have over 50K.) -But they said they'll be discontinuing flights soon, and of course the layoffs.
