Delta & US Airways DUMP Quest for LGA gate swaps!

[Quimby]

It's funny to see pilots arguing over things they have absolutely no control over.

Carry on.

Better than working for your BOY Republicans and Tea Party Anti Americans. Never in the history of this country was there such internal destructive forces at work than conservatism and Republicanism in its present form. I'm a Texan from a military family. Seen the insanity first hand and while it sounds good it is destructive and divisive and anti American.

May I buy you a :beer: ?

Oh, ok, so tell me, outfits like southwest didn't have the worst pay, benefits and work rules prior to 9/11?
You're right, everyone wanted to work there because of their stellar pay and work rules!

The point is that if you want to swap slots with someone else then you can....because you own the gates. Just because I want to swap my peanut butter sandwich for a jelly sandwich doesn't mean I have to put it up for sale for the whole world to bid on it. I can do what I want with it. Southwest has absolutely no case here. You bid when there are slots available and someone wants to sell...that simple.

Southwest has absolutely no case here. You bid when there are slots available and someone wants to sell...that simple.

the case is that Delta and US Airways chose their own competition in giving those slots to the "airlines of their choice". Slots they clearly didn't want anymore.

SWA called them on it and the DOT evidently agreed. SWA didn't say the slots should go to SWA...just that all airlines should have the opportunity to compete for those slots through a bidding system.

Obviously Delta/US airways didn't want them...so, let there be a bid for them.

Even the General should be in favor of this...it would generate more $$$ for Delta. And, after the competitive thrashing mainline Delta took before they up and quit trying in Lubbock and at the DFW airport, this $$$ from a LGA slot bid should be all good for the Mother Delta....right?
