Q: What is the difference between air carrier and commuter slots?
A: At Reagan National, aircraft with 76 seats or less can operate with commuter slots. At LaGuardia, the general rule is that jet aircraft with 56 seats or less can use commuter slots, although there are some exceptions.
Overall though I'm excited to watch our presence/product flourish in NY. I think it's a great move!

I know we have some things in the fire as far as the perimeter rule is concerned. Maybe we are working at changing the below, but to everyone saying this is surely going to be a major win for mainline remember most of these aren't just normal slots, they are commuter slots.

Delta shares were up 3.3 percent at $7.25, while US Airways shares were up 4.5 percent at $3.04 in afternoon trade on the New York Stock Exchange.
The deal would transfer 125 pairs of slots from US Airways to Delta at LaGuardia. Those slots are currently used by US Airways Express.
US Airways has been criticized for underutilizing the space over the years by flying regional jets instead of larger planes. Delta plans to use bigger aircraft.
More efficient use of LaGuardia, notorious for congestion and delays, has long been a priority of transportation and aviation regulators.

Not Mr. Sensitive, and I am not taking it personally, but I have a hard time answering or taking someone serious on a Delta thread with your signature. It simply sucks to read it...

At LaGuardia, the general rule is that jet aircraft with 56 seats or less can use commuter slotssince DAL has already stated that these flight will be increased to dual configuration aircraft you would have to assume they know they will be able to use larger aircraft (greater than 56 seats), although there are some exceptions. I wonder if a 99 seat DC9 could be an exception

If it sucks to read it, don't read it. Block my posts if you have such a hard time reading my signature.
I DON'T HATE DELTA PILOTS.

Criticized by who? Customers? Other carriers trying to find gate space in LGA?
Or by the New York Port Authority who are the ones responsible for the restriction? If that was the case it would have been ditched by now.
I agree that it's in everyone's best interest to get rid of these restrictions. With only so much space in LGA you might as well have as many people as possible coming in & out with each slot.
