Unbelievable! These routes should only be given to legacy carriers, who have, monopoly's with mediocre service. This is the problem with Americans. They always want choice, and when we give it to them, we get Presidents like Obama

Each of the majors were allowed to change one existing slot into a beyond-perimeter flight, without any DOT process:

The new law also allowed four large carriers already serving Reagan National to exchange a total of eight slots for flights within the perimeter for an equal number of slot exemptions to permit nonstop flights beyond the perimeter. As a result, American Airlines will trade one round-trip flight to Dallas-Fort Worth for a flight to Los Angeles, Delta Airlines Lines will trade one round-trip flight to New York LaGuardia Airport for a flight to Salt Lake City, United Airlines will trade one round-trip flight to Chicago O’Hare for a flight to San Francisco, and US Airways will trade one round-trip flight to Dallas-Fort Worth for a flight to San Diego.
