Agreed. After getting the DOT to go out on a limb and do their dirty work, SWA went out and made them look like fools for doing exactly what the DOT said they couldn't do....get slots at fair market value.

Now to save face, it's the only out for the DOT unless they want a prolonged court battle with a potentially bad outcome. The status quo is MUCH preferred.

Swapped approved, ASAP, with no conditions.

UAL/CAL got snookered into playing their game. Our team didn't. Kudos.
