Simple: DCA will be divested to CO so the DCA presence stays in Star.
I don't think anyone would expect a requirement to divest all slots/facilities at DCA, instead just reducing the concentration that would be in one carrier's hands as a result of the merger. The US/DL swap deal as originally proposed would have given US 57% or more of the DCA slots and we all know how that was received by the Feds. I suspect that any potential merger would produce a requirement limiting the merged carrier to under 50% of slots - about what US currently has.
