It will be interesting to see what happens if this cannot be resolved. I also wonder if there are really four more pairs out there looking for some utilization.
I am wondering to know why both US/DL is denied approval? So could be JetBlue will acquiring 5 more extra slots into DCA? I think B6 will have to startup more flight from DCA-TPA/PBI/JAX or even B6 will get more frequencies DCA-FLL to become second daily.
