and where in any of those quotes does it say "DL will sue?"
LFC stands for low fare carrier.
It is used since some carriers, like WN, aren't really low cost relative to other legacy carriers.

I just googled LFC and according to 33 definitions, not of them relates to or refers to any form, shape or fashion Low Fare Carrier. But this is the internet and anyone can hide behind a computer and make any claim they choose.
I recall that when WN was fighting to repeal the Wright Ammendment, American Airlines and the DFW airport hired Bill Swelbar from MIT to state how repealing the WA would cause AMR to cancell International flights and cut service to small cities and basically turn the world upside down. He wrote in his blog, Swelblog, how awful it was going to be if Southwest won. He had a comment section on the blog and he was taken to task for making up lies, posting wrong figures and how wrong he was. He just couldn't admit being wrong with facts in front of him. WT will never admit that his previous statements that DL would pursue a court challenge is the same as DL would sue in court.
Liars never figure and figures don't lie.

The last batch of slots at Reagan has not been finalized, a Justice Department spokesman said Friday, and federal officials have declined to identify bidders for the slots at either airport aside from making it clear that United (UAL) and Delta (DAL) aren’t welcome in the process.

supposedly it wasn't that long ago that the DOJ said that the slots could only be acquired by US carriers.

Virgin America Airline wins eight final Reagan National slots
WASHINGTON Wed Feb 19, 2014 5:25pm EST
Reuters
The slots at the popular, gate-restricted airport that serves the political and business communities are among those American Airlines Group was required to sell to win antitrust approval for its merger with US Airways.Feb 19 (Reuters) - Virgin America airline said on Wednesday it had won the last eight takeoff and landing slots at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport.
The win by Virgin comes after bidding last month that awarded 54 slots at Reagan National to Dallas-based Southwest and 40 to New York-based JetBlue, including 16 that JetBlue had been leasing.
Earlier Wednesday, Spirit Airlines said it had lost a bid for the slots. A slot is the right to operate one takeoff or landing.
Virgin, which counts Richard Branson's Virgin Group as a minority investor, said the new Reagan slots would allow it to increase service to San Francisco. It said it would announce flight schedule changes this month based on the slots at Reagan and LaGuardia International Airport in New York.
American's former parent, AMR Corp, and US Airways agreed to give up slots at Reagan National and LaGuardia as well as gates at other airports under a settlement of an antitrust lawsuit by the U.S. Justice Department seeking to block their combination. The merger, completed in December, formed the world's largest airline.
Southwest won 22 of the LaGuardia slots while Virgin America won the remaining 12.
American Airlines also agreed to give up two gates at each of the following airports: Chicago O'Hare International Airport, Los Angeles International Airport, Boston Logan Airport, Miami International Airport and Dallas Love Field.
American and US Airways announced last year that they planned to merge. The Justice Department sued to stop the deal, saying it would lead to higher fares. The sides announced a settlement on Nov. 12 after the airlines agreed to a long list of divestitures.
The Justice Department argued that the slot and gate sales would give low-cost competitors better access to some of the country's busiest airports. Analysts, however, said that a relatively small number of flights would be affected and any change would be incremental.
