Delta, US Airways Close Deal to Transfer Flying Rights in New York and Washington, D.C.

If the DOT/DOJ would be OK with US-AA/UA/DL having 55-60-65% of the slots at DCA why did they object to US having 54-57%? It defies logic...

The DOT is objecting to the current slot swap?

They did object to the original proposal.

My guess, UA will move over with CO and take some gates from DL. US will take the current UA gates. The current UA club will become the second US club. No idea whether UA will keep a club in DCA. I forget if there's room somewhere for one -- CO never had one as far as I know.

I think UA/CO and AC should go to the banjo. That's such a cool terminal for non hubbing activity.

I doubt that will happen. On the flip side, there is unused club space over there -- NW's old club.
