whlinder said:I can't imagine McCain losing nonstop PHX service, so whatever the merged airline becomes (if it happens) will probably keep some of them. If they were smart, they would work out a deal to surrender with-in perimeter slots in exchange for keeping all the 'McCain' slots.
I assume the type of transaction would play a role as well, since TW became part of AA. Would HP be forced to give up the slots if US was merged into HP, who then turned around and changed their name to US?
If this goes through, I hope HP's slots are taken away and re-distributed. Of course the new HP/US would be allowed to apply for them and McCain would make sure PHX has some flights, but IMHO it is a joke that LAS/PHX have 5 daily RTs and the entire state of California has 1 RT to DCA....

DCAflyer said:I don't think any of the exemptions currently fly to California. The only one California ever had, IIRC, is the TWA exemption to LAX. Let's hope for the best. If we are only able to keep one or two, I'd love to see us use the 767's, which I understand are able to take off and land using DCA's main runway. It would be the only widebody service to/from DCA.

That would be cool. I think if this goes through and HPUS keeps the 5 RTs that we will see a larger plane on some of the flights, and if a couple of RTs get taken away the remaining ones should see 757 service at the smallest.
