I had not seen that Unused slots at LGB are reassigned by lottery. In late June/early July America West lost a slot due to inactivity and Alaska got it. >> I did know that, but it is not a lottery. It is a system where they gave AA, AS and B6 a spot, and they rotate the position. I believe it goes AS, AA, B6, B6, AA, AS. Also, if AA or AS give up a slot, I believe it goes to B6
