We had 4 daily slots in JFK awarded to us by the FAA in 2021 and used them for about 18 months and gave them back. Can't do International without feed and this just lets us do 7 daily LAX or SFO flights.

Three more daily slots barely moves the needle at all compared to our previous slot allocation. Only allows us to not have to have everyone there part time, which was the problem before.

There’s more to this than 7 future slots. I’m not sure how this plays out, but they’re not integrating IT systems for a few slots.

They’re not integrating IT systems for anything. There’s no IT integration.

He’s a hack who lied about his military service and whose level of influence ranks somewhere above Kamala Harris.

Blumenthol is one of the slimiest creatures in Congress. Probly looking for some hush money to go away.
JetBlue put this together. Wayne got the briefing on how it came about. He’s been telling everyone. It’s an interline agreement. Hell it’s different than what we do with the Brightline.

There are no IT systems being integrated. United and Jetblue are giving each other APIs to sell tickets through the app. Making API calls to another system isn't "integration" LOL.

United has interline agreements with over 100 airlines. ZED is an interline agreement for discount airline travel. Because I can go on United's website and buy a ZED fare on Delta doesn't mean United and Delta are merging or code sharing. This whole thing seems overblown.
