45 DCA and 20 LGA slots to be given up/sold.

45 DCA and 20 LGA slots to be given up/sold.

Where did you hear this?

 

[CFIfornow]

45 DCA and 20 LGA slots to be given up/sold.

Is that all it's going too take? Seems too easy after all the noise the DOJ was making about how this wasn't only about DCA slots.

 

[Saluki Dawg]

Are these individual slots, or slot pairs?

45 DCA and 20 LGA slots to be given up/sold.

I heard the same amount of slots, but only as a rumor through the grapevine. Anybody now when they will officially settle if this rumor has any legs to it?

 

[dollacrackho]

us air didn't want the twu to be involved in this case. the doj didn't want them involved. so why are they involved? They say they are in favor of the merger seems all this gonna do is slow things down.

 

[jc3]

"The union relented and asked instead to file a brief in the case."

TWU agreed to just be a "friend to the court" and not intervene.
