I think HND access is a lost cause. But I think we win a court battle on the slot swap and I think we'll have a lot of friends in our corner because if we lose, then guess what happens to CAL/UAL's EWR hub on their next move? Or AMR/JB swap? I mean what % of flights out of EWR belong to CAL and compare that to what we're asking for in LGA and LCC in DCA?

I think you're right. Here is some irony: as we battle for the slot swap in court, we will in effect be strengthening the hand of our biggest competitior. If we successfully argue that DOT has no ability to force a divestiture, we're helping make the case that CAL and UAUA's stranglehold on EWR is OK.

I realize DOJ (not DOT) reviews mergers, so the case about ownership of slots isn't completely related (they can acknowledge CAL owns their "slots", but state the new United still "owns" too many).

Nonetheless, this is all about fighting off the more important enemy, and not allowing the continual reshuffling of the deck to favor the LCC's.

Does this mean we LOST the case with Mesa? Looks that way to me.

I don't know if this has been posted, but, my thoughts and prayers are with this guy. And we need to assist the family if needed. Also, we all should note, even when we are having a great time we should be aware that it all could end in one punch.... Man, 23, charged in assault; victim is on life support | StarTribune.com

Wow he is in my prayers.

You win the same thing I did for getting to 10K posts. :eek:

If we lost, then they will probably be going to DFW! That is where I would put em.
