These slots are hot commodity because DCA provides a lot of high revenue traffic. Another airline that was crying for them , AirTran, is silent. For now.. .

America West is not the only carrier interest in obtaining that dormant LAS-DCA authorization from National Airlines. Today United Airlines filed papers requesting they be given that authority..but move it to LAX. Makes a lot of sense as LAX lost non-stop service to Reagan National when TWA acquired by AMR and AS successfully moved the authorization to SEA. Who's next?? RT Simpson Phoenix
