That's a half truth. If you are strictly referring to price, you have a point... sort of. If you are referring to choice of destinations, you are not even close. All the DC consumers are gonna see are more flights to Florida. If that's what they want, then fine, but they should have let the market decide that rather than dictating it via a non competitive bidding process. If DAL would have been allowed to win those slots, and put in flights that were unprofitable, they would go away. But at least the consumer would have had a choice. Wright might be wrong, but so it the "bidding" process.
