I don't see any need for restrictions. Combined, they still have a small share of slots at DCA and the NYC airports. The two gates at DAL will either be sold because AS wants to stay with DFW and connect with AA or become more utilized. Other than that, VX and AS have very little in the way of assets that will be flagged as anti-competitive.
