The DOT has stripped Midway of 2 DCA slots and 12 LGA slots (1 and 6 departures), saying that under the U-Midway deal the slots would become de facto U slots and U does not qualify as a new entrant for AIR-21 slots. DOT will reaward the slots to another carrier in a new proceeding.
This will probably kill the deal with Midway, since DCA and LGA were the assets U most wanted.
