Just for the record, Texas International was not a child of deregulation. Trans Texas Airways, aka Tree Top, aka Tinker Toy, provided service to twenty six cities in Texas during the 50s and 60s. They changed their name to Texas International in 1969, nine years before the Airline Deregulation Act was signed.
Now back to whatever it is you're talking about.

Congrats on the merger clearing DOJ. I hope that your management remembers VX's gate/slot grab attempt once the dust settles. ... perhaps they'll start when the EWR gates and slots you're leasing to VX come up for renewal?

JBLU also painted a target on their backs. JetBlue CEO: AA should give up all D.C. slots in merger
One way to 'return the favor' is to hire a bunch of VX and JBLU pilots with apps in at USAirways and AMR.

I saw the VA CEO on CNBC talking about the merger. He said that the slots in DC didn't help the little guy in Peoria. Remind me, how much service does VA have to Peoria, or any small city? What a crock.
