I'm not. Those slots are highly political. Every one of them wants non stops from there to their district. Parker is playing it pretty smart though. Basically saying every slot you take from us will be a small market we stop serving just so you can have more cheap seats to Florida on JB and go to SWA's hubs. AA/US will have to give some up, but probably under 10% and maybe a lot less. It also sets them up to be "too DC to fail" and puts them number one belly up at the trough for future bailouts if necessary.
