You are correct. Perhaps Carl has found the true "yellow card" on the forums.

CQ reported today that Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison and other Republican senators are pushing to increase the number of longer distance flights from Reagan National Airport, which are restricted under current law.

The Republicans want an additional 10 daily long-distance slots at Reagan included in the FAA authorization bill being negotiated between the House and Senate (both chambers have passed their bills). The story says Hutchison is pushing for four additional flights to Texas.

Lawmakers from western states have long wanted more direct service to DCA, which is prized for its proximity to downtown Washington. Southwest Airlines has also looked for an opportunity to expand into DCA. The Dallas carrier opposed a DOT compromise on a proposed slot swap between Delta and US Airways, which would require the carriers to sell 14 slots at DCA. Southwest urged the DOT to force its competitors to give up more slots to "counteract the anti-competitive effects of the Delta/US Airways slot swap," according to a filing from March.

Regarding Hutchison's involvement, CQ says she would "add four slots for flights between National and medium-hub airports within 2,000 miles." It suggests that would accommodate more service to "second airports" in Dallas and Houston, as well as new flights to Austin and San Antonio.

A spokesman for Republicans on the Senate Commerce Committee would not provide specifics about what Hutchison is seeking. Airline industry officials don't think the DCA rule will bog down the FAA bill to the extent that a labor dispute between FedEx and UPS have.

So all 4 should go to uh... SWA to serve Texas? Delta can do San Antonio - DCA. It'll be one of our best international flights from Regan to a Whole Nother Country.

Actually Carl it was not my post that I quoted. It was from another APC member. In the end I guess I should be happy NW chose the path they did because it played heavily in the SLI list construction by the arbitrator. Credibility is very important in negotiations like a SLI issue. In the end it produced a list that exceeded what I expected and was perhaps not fair to the senior pilots at NWA. Its always best to keep things above board and accurate when its going to come back to you in hearings.

Is that like a 15-yard personal foul? If so, he should get two.

Ferd, was NewK a F-15 pilot with you? Or an F-15 pilot stationed on a submarine?

NewK, Navy F-15 pilot?

btw Ferd, F-15s are, I think, almost gone from LFI.

Come on, Sailing. That post is flame. Carl was just playing with ya. Let's not escalate this SLI stuff beyond where it is, please.

That Dawsonville, Georgia nudie resort is run by a couple of Delta pilots:

Yes, NewK was in that super secret Navy Squadron He can't talk about it much but after a Great White Shark TV Network named a series after him "NewK Week" the Navy was forced to declassify the program.

Nope, the 71st (last of the Eagle Squadrons) is gone now. I tried to get back for the big shuttering party but I got tied up with family stuff. Too bad, one of my old squadron commanders (and exDelta pilot) wrote a check for $1000 (the 94th and 27th commanders from that era also chipped in $$) and slapped it on the bar. I'm sure a good time was had by all.
