When I first saw the article title, I assumed it would be more bogus welfare for cancerous LCC's and foreign carriers, which it still may be, but there seems to be a chunk of the funny money we can break off for ourselves.

JB will likely (re)invade (this time in a MUCH more dedicated assault) before the end of 2015 and VX around a year later, and the dual subsidized fake royal Gulf airlines about the same time frame. We're running high on the YoY numbers but soon we'll have to take a break from the magic to counter punch the insolent yield trashers/capacity dumpers. I hope mahogany row is ready for the short term pain required for the long term gain, as well as being on the same page with the airport people to not screw their own futures at the expense of flowery short term press releases.
If JB attacks from the north, we'll just flood it with heavies going from ATL-JFK, if from the west, we will continue to attack with heavies. If from the south, we will be greatly confused.

If the ME carriers attack, it will be a whole new crusade for us.
