I don't need to read the news anymore - it's all here, and before the newspaper breaks it.

Well now Delta is ahead of the curve - they can say to the DOT (and the media): "What - now the DOT is against Low-Fare Carriers? We're just trying to help out the little guy! Who needs these slots more than Airtran, Westjet and Spirit."

:rolleyes:

Go figure. Until you announce that SWA is getting all of the slots DAL is getting in LGA then somebody in DC is not going to be living up to their side of the bribe.

There are 4 low cost carriers that are a part of this six way deal, JetBlue included in DCA. Evidently it's not the right low cost carrier, somebody is trying to pick the winners here. Why even play the game if the outcome doesn't match the referees agenda then the outcome is tossed.

yeah, that one caught my attention when I heard the news earlier.

did someone say merger....................

acl65pilot 03-22-2010 02:20 PM

Well I was told five in DCA so that was correct. The 15 in NYC is not too bad either.
Spirit-interesting
West Jet--Don't they code share with Air France :rolleyes:
AAi: Well we can help them out too. Maybe LUV buy them now.....

Maybe we can use some of those route authorities to buy back some LGA slots. :cool:
