Misinformation. AMR needs cash. There will be a swap of slots. AMR has LGA no DCA. USairways has still a lot of LGA and extra DCA. U swaps DCA for some of AMR's ORD. In this economy bartering has replaced cash, the airlines are no different.
Look for Delta empty gates at ORD to go to USairways. USairways presently has gates in terminal 2, Northwest also has gates in terminal 2. Delta is going to move to terminal 2. Do the math.
