They aren’t wrong… BOS isn’t slot restricted…

EWR, United would be required to give up B6 gates and takeoff/landing times….

JFK - United would offer up JFK slots to divestitures to satisfy the DOJ and keep a good handful of them…. Delta wouldn’t be able to bid for them. AA might but doubt it, Breeze, F9, Southwest would all be able to advocate for those slots freely.

But we will see as there is precedent that EWR and LGA/JFK were considered as separate markets in previous cases.

If there was to be a UA/B6 merger, this is the likely scenario that will play out.
