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

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.

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.
