FtB;
The DOT can make their final ruling any time they want. I would expect us to start flying the routes within 30-60 days after the ruling. Say March 30th and flights starting sometime in May. We are ready to move.

As for SWA. They could have bid on those slots in the last round and opted out. If they give them slots, it is a load of you know what. Maybe we should ask for route authorities we passed up on a few years ago. How about we ask the DOT to give us AMR's Chinese route authorities out of ORD. Doesn't make a lot of sense does it.

It they pull that, expect a very non favorable response from us toward are pro-labor DC contingent. (edited to remain within TOS! )
