DOT already denied our request to move the slots off HNL/PDX routes. Also Japanese will no longer let us delay for Covid. It’s fly or give it up. United played a decent part in forcing that decision, lodging a complaint against our request to move the slot to a different route. Time for Delta to actually fly our international routes.
