Broad Divestitures Wanted from DOJ
#31
I've read the government is looking for slot divestiture at LGA as well.AA still wouldn't be the largest slot holder at LGA should this go through,that would be Delta.
I would hope that Parker doesn't give away too much simply in order to get this thing over the finish line.American can't afford to have Dougweiser flee from New York or some other similarly asinine idea from the sweat lodge management team he wants to install in Dallas.

Right, because having 69% of DCA is a bad bad thing. Having more than 70% of BWI is just fine. It's not like they're close together or anything.

It's just business. Parker would be doing the same thing in their shoes. His job is to counter their BS, and maybe he did too good a job of that before.
Maybe they should get the slots, but have to serve the cities they currently serve. I'm sure SW would enjoy DCA-BGR!

We now know the tail that wags the dog......as if it is a shock. Henceforth, let it be known that all airline mergers are subject to the approval of Southwest and JetBlue via the DOJ.

If 69% of DCA is anti-competitive, Southwest really should have to give up an equal amount in DAL when the wright amendment ends and it opens up.
Otherwise, its really just anti-competitive that they occupy all those gates and such.

Ruthless management though. I just wish our management fought a tenth as hard for us as their's does for them (or at least as creatively and ruthlessly).
