I'm not holding my breath either. The DOJ has not yet approved that slot swap. I have heard that AA is opposing it rather strongly, as it will give Delta a very dominant position in LGA and JFK.

I have no knowledge or opinion, it's just what I have heard.

It may yet come through, but word had been as of summer, but by now US Airways and Delta will be planning their summer schedules.

We'll see what happens. Believe me, I'd like to see more DCA flying. If I never flew to LGA again it'd be too soon.
