What does everyone think US Airways plans are in this deal? (All the talk so far seems to be about Delta)
Did they get anything else aside from the slots? I seem to remember some route authorities were involved also.
Seems like they're losing almost 100 slots. Will this result in a reduction in flying? Where are those airplanes that fly the LGA flying going to go? They're obviously not all going to DCA.

Delta/USAir slot swap plan hits US antitrust snag | Reuters
What are the chances this deal still falls apart?
I would think slim, but having new antitrust issues regarding DCA and US Air can't help move this thing along.
