Hmm, how much has head count been reduced at DFW as a result?
You seem to be implying that DFW is being punished. Yep punished like MCI, STL and AFW, oh but wait all those places delivered best performance in the system but the company reduced or closed them anyway. So jump through hoops or poke them in the eye, seems that the company says FU either way.
Go ahead and claim "Those were operational decisions due to routing" Newsflash, its always "operational" but if management can blame their decision to move work due to performance, and some are stupid enough to believe it, they will. The fact is the company is always moving work around, station performance is never factored in, the expectation is that its a constant.
