Net increase of 18 slots

No gains, but the DTW CA slots may offset if commuters bid to DTW
SLC:
Losing 20 320 FO seats
. . . . . 20 73N/7ER CA seats in LAX/SEA
It will be interesting for sure. Overall good news for once.
I wouldn't call this good news- it's marginal at best. All widebody displacements in ATL with almost all narrowbody vacancies.
SLC should be a good thing with west coast commuters hopefully being able to to get back out there.
MSP is definitely negative- their demographics are similar to ATL with a very low amount of commuters.
DTW is overall positive with narrowbody displacements and growth on the widebody side.
Remember, the big positive bid is the next one! (
