The slot swap was primarily about single point O&D and the fact that its 90-something percent outsourced RJ's means mainline won't get very much "feed" in the first place. As an added bonus, we could see down-gauging in JFK and EWR as a result of this if the O&D pax really do prefer LGA. Just enough to outsource, not quite enough to justify mainline. High CASM, inferior product, few to no additional Delta pilot jobs. This is shaping up to make the AS code share check valve look like a good deal. At least we get some widebody feed from the mass outsourcing and narrow-body stagnation on the west coast. All we will get in LGA is supposedly revenue that we hope we will get a piece of. As if we haven't fallen for that trick before.
