So question, trivia one, in a slot swap what precedence exists for the DOT to be able to say you have to sell a large % (or any %) of the slots in the swap to competitors?

Just curious.

I think now we go after the DOT's ruling and if that doesn't work we give some slots to Spirit and some slots to any Canadian airline (grab Porter out of EWR) that wants in to LGA or DCA.

Of course I'm waiting for the DOT to hand JAL-AMR ATI, followed quickly by finally handing them the British Airways-AMR ATI, then hand AMR the USAir terminal so that they can do what DAL was planning on doing and thats have the nicest two terminals in LGA/JFK.

Also, does Continental need to be forced to downsize its operations in EWR for competition sake? I mean they own that airport. That's theirs. I guess for some reason they're the only ones allowed to do that in the 3 big airports in NYC.

Will we furlough?
