I don't need to read the news anymore - it's all here, and before the newspaper breaks it.

There are 4 low cost carriers that are a part of this six way deal, JetBlue included in DCA. Evidently it's not the right low cost carrier, somebody is trying to pick the winners here. Why even play the game if the outcome doesn't match the referees agenda then the outcome is tossed.

Well I was told five in DCA so that was correct. The 15 in NYC is not too bad either.
Spirit-interesting
West Jet--Don't they code share with Air France

AAi: Well we can help them out too. Maybe LUV buy them now.....
