That would make RA's push for LGA swap pure genius.. I would not want to play poker or chess against RA.

Seems like Parker deserves some credit also. After all, US Air gained the DCA slots and cash by giving up LGA slots that would/will potentially be forced out due to a merger with AMR. Funny how all this is working out...
