If we had enough 220s I could see that possibly add BWI. What kills dca right now is it’s a mix of bus and 190. This is where the 220 would be perfect there.

DCA might work well with addition of NK slots, maybe with BWI as a co-base. B6 220’s and NK 319’s after 190’s are gone.

Yeah, because JB+NK really needs more Florida... One of the combined airlines weakest regions if I recall 😂.

But yeah, I get why you would want that.

We’re gonna need someplace to stuff all those extra Florida pilots when the companies combine 😬

TPA makes about as much sense as BDL.

That's why their slots are so underused.

Sold them to SWA many years ago. Got some LGA slots in return too.
