I've heard that Air Kabul and Air Bangladesh are considering a code share agreement. The price? 3 gates and slots at Kabul Int'l to SWA.
How do those guys do it??

I think that it is great. Delta is in the process of suing over the slot swap with USAirways. I think this helps the case greatly. Apparently you CAN choose with whom you divest--as long as it is with SWA. I think that a crank has been stepped on here, and it will be good for us.
