Re: Plan would let U.S. airlines share scheduling info

This pretty much happens today anyways, doesn't it?

For the most part, in dual airline hubs (like ATL or ORD) AA/UA or DL
and Citrus; you never seem to time their banks at the same time.

Even at O'Hare, which I've just passed through, the departures off 32L
were all United (19:30CST). Arrivals on 9R were all AA.

Even on the ground at ATL, if Citrus and DL ran their arrival banks at
the same time, chaos would ensue at the taxi stand and Marta station.
