I doubt it. The younger professional crowd wants to live in the city or close in VA. So the depend for flights from DCA will likely increase.

But UA continues to decrease flights out of DCA and to downsize aircraft. DL did the opposite - they swapped some slots with US to get more at LGA, but then DL upsized the aircraft out of DCA - many being old 757s.
