The articles make a good point in that trying to get from the AA terminal to the Jetblue terminal would be a real hassle, and I imagine the same would go for the interline baggage. It just sounds like a real mess in the making.
It's not really that tough to get between the AA/B6 terminals. I'm sure with this deal they will work out a people mover bus that will stay inside security which will make it even easier. I always though UAL would go after them especially when they struck up the deal with Lufthansy. I wonder if the Gov will still force us to give JBLU slots in DCA since they are now getting slots from AMR? I think everyone should give the slots to Spirit.
