Anyone believes that DL could pull this off because its been while that a single carrier try to dominate the NYC airports. I am not talking about EWR thats newark, NJ different city and state. I know that they'll go head to head against the largest carrier across the river but the article doesn't include that airport.
Delta says it's 'playing to win in New York'

NEW YORK (MarketWatch) -- The world's largest airline, Delta Air Lines Inc., said Tuesday that New York's LaGuardia and John F. Kennedy airports play key roles in growing its corporate-travel business, as the global economy recovers from recession.
Combined, the airports are No. 3 in terms of passenger traffic, just after Atlanta's Hartsfield-Jackson and Chicago's O'Hare airports, according to data from Airports Council International.
It's a significant market for an airline that already has carved out a prime niche in the international and business-travel sector.
By early February, the Atlanta-based carrier expects government approval for a plan to swap operating slots at Reagan National for slots at LaGuardia currently held by US Airways Group(LCC 5.05, -0.09, -1.75%). The airlines also will swap gates at LaGuardia to help further consolidate Delta operations.
If approved, the swap will allow Delta(DAL 12.68, +0.03, +0.24%) to more than double its number of nonstop destinations and add more than a dozen new cities, potentially bringing in more than 2 million additional passengers annually, the airline said.
