As I recall, in that early out program there were about 30 747 Capt. and 30 A330 Capt's who left, and in the last A/E (M/D) there were 15 777 Capt. displacements...so...unless there are 75 Wide Body Capt. A/E's in this next bid, I'd hardly call it neutral.
DC 9's getting bumped -up- to MD90's, yes, that's a good thing, but how about replacing some of the 75 missing wide body Capt.s?

Who gets the money from the slot swap auction? DAL, USAIR or the Government?

They are ASSETS of USairways and DAL... So as ASSETS it would only make sense the Airlines did..... Why would the government? Much like RAH trying to SELL SLOTS to generate money..... Republic/Midwest etc own those slot rights.

MEM DC9 will close.... Aprox 30 CA and 30 FO. NYC 88 B is 30 short. MSP 88 CA is 30 short. overall net 0 on this bid.

Well then why would the FAA be involved in the transaction at all? Seems that if they were truly just assets, DAL could sell them to whoever they wanted instead of running an auction through the FAA, or was selling them through an FAA auction just part of the DOT's conditions in this swap case?

It's likely the slot swap won't even be in effect for the conversion date of the next AE. Nice sarcasm though.
