Ostensibly UA sold the LHR JFK authority and slot pair to DL. Not long after, Open Skies meant that the authority sale was moot. However the slot sale stood so UA no longer has that slot pair. Having said that, it would be fairly easy to acquire further slots should it desire. UA has been one of the biggest sellers at LHR but separately CO has been acquiring.
