If the aircrew "needed to get on the ground right away", why did they
overfly other suitable airports?


What other suitable airports did they overfly?



That action alone could have suggested to ATC that this wasn't that big an
issue. Love Field has equipment to deal with air carrier class aircraft
and they flew right past it even after being asked about landing there.


Which way were they landing at DAL?
