Do you work for SW? If so, do you imagine that SW will use the slots as US has used many of them, like BGR? How about you get the slots, but have to maintain that service, would that be okay?
Would SW allow gates and facilities to anyone at DAL or HOU, just to keep things honest? How about jetBlue at JFK or LGB?
Parker was right, how much more service does MCO need from the DCA area?
And if you do work for SW you should be thinking the big guy upstairs for bungling management of other airlines and the bankruptcy codes. SW has been the main beneficiary of those of US Air.
