I wonder how many DCA and LGA slots the new AMR would have to give up b/c of anti-trust concerns.....
That would make RA's push for LGA swap pure genius.. I would not want to play poker or chess against RA.
Additionally, Star Alliance would suffer a US domestic hit if the "new AMR" stayed in Oneworld.

Was there something in their term sheet about 2 88 seat jets for every new mainline jet? Who would fly the 88 seaters?

WRT DL pilots, yes. What I was getting at was what if the APA caves and allows 88 seat C Series (with a nice sized first class thats about what the small one would seat) DL management will squeal like Ned Beatty that we have to allow that too. Outsourcing is, literally, a religion to them.
If they get the same pay (plus 3% even), for doing nothing, we have to have better scope, retirement, vacation, insurance, etc.

A regional - not only Eagle, I think part of the deal over at AA/Eagle is to allow other carriers (Pinnacle, Skywest, etc) to bid on AA regional flying.

True on the LGA end, but what about DCA slots that they just recently acquired.... AA and US already have too many slots between them at Reagan...

My guessing is that US would have to give up less now than they would've had to pre-slot swap. RA wasn't a "pure genius"... it was a good move for both parties involved.
The DOT, on the otherhand, will just screw the airlines merging. Doesn't matter who the involved parties are.

I see what you're getting at now after I re-read it. LGA will be a non player. But I'm still thinking carnage at DCA. SWA is probably excited!

What's next for DAL? AL, HI, or JB (to compete with the new east coast #1)
