Former Business Express LGA Slots

[phllax]

I got to thinking about how many former BEX slots Eagle got when they aquired the airline, how many are left and how much they're worth?

Just looking at the pdf timetable, Eagle operates 43 departures from LGA to:
ATL - 7
CRW - 1
CLT - 5
CLE - 5
CMH - 6
DTW - 7
XNA - 3
MSP - 4
YUL - 5

Those numbers do not include the 6x BNA, 10X RDU or 9x YYZ which I am going to assume some, if not all, of those slots were AA's original because they had mainline service. They also do not include ORD, MIA, DFW or STL.

jetBlue paid $40 million for eight slot pairs late last year in the Delta divestiture. Dunno if that means that AA's are worth $5 million per pair.

In October 1997, HQ had 24 slot pairs at LGA, with an assumed market value at the time of 200-300K per pair.
