And at DAL (airport, not airline) DOT made clear that WN would not get the gates due to already having such a high share. I am assuming something similar might happen here, where they have a say in slots.
It sounds like Delta will be giving up less than 5 EWR slots. Not material to competition. I don't think many will speak up because Delta will retaliate.

No offense, but I'm not going to take your assertion that UAL has not underperformed at face value, given the extensive numbers I have been posting for the last three years. Likewise, if UA has claimed a growing corporate share, post away, ditto if AA has not done so.
I've posted this information before. It's usually discussed in earnings calls and the transcripts are available for your review.
