The perimeter rule just hinders travellers. The choice of DL is a stupid idea on top of that. Given that beyond the perimeter slots are at a premium, LAX should have gotten it, not small town SLC or Delta.

LAX would serve the most people. SEA and SFO aren't bad choices either. Not that many people live in Salt Lake City. DL claims that people can connect. However, those same people can also connect at MSP or DEN.

Has someone who knows the process of slot allocation know how pertinent congressional and (vice-)presidential pressure are in such decisions.
