Delta at DCA
 
So with the slot agreement between US and DL i guess I can say goodbye to almost all the Delta flights that don't go to a hub out of DCA.

darn:( I kinda liked having delta as a reserve option

Not really...

We lost a number of flights. But didn't lose too many routes.

Has someone posted the entire list of DCA cuts in another thread?

That Would Be Great

That list would be most helpful.

Looks like it.. DCA-OMA was also cut starting in 2012.

The list posted in the DCA thread only accounts for eleven out of the 42 slots slated to be cut.

DCA-MIA- 2 slots
DCA-TPA- 1 slot
DCA-MCO- 3 slots
DCA-STL- 2 slots
DCA-OMA- 1 slot
DCA-JAX- 2 slots

I don't think delta has utilized all of their solts at DCA for a while now so maybe the effects will be less .


I know a large number of them are ATL-DCA


Delta can always add flights out of IAD ...... I would love to see some flights to LAX

If I were Delta I wouldn't think about adding flights out of IAD. I would focus on adding flights to BWI before IAD. UA's hub is pretty strong out of IAD. Also, DL tried IAD-LAX in the past and failed.

IAD-LAX was proposed but never started.

Given the "monetization" thrust, I'd choose another carrier because my company specifically restricts us to "cheapest available ticket".

There's plenty of traffic IAD-LAX, including UA, AA, B6, and VX (and maybe someone I've missed). WN dropped their flight from IAD-SoCal.
