I think AA would have also been happy to move a slot to DFW, where most routes seem to work well for them.

UA, overall, seems happy with their gateways. HNL not back yet, but I think the chance to get an extra slot from DL outweighs the weakness of HNL, which is probably stronger than DL’s HNL slot, given the JV with NH.
