The deal between US Airways and Delta to swap slots at New York LaGuardia and Washington National airports has been extensively covered and analyzed since it was announced yesterday. Here is this morning's Inquirer article on the agreement. which includes one observation that it will help both carriers strengthen what are markets where they already have a lot of pricing power.
Another take, including a skeptical look from the Business Travel Coaltiion at how consumers could be adversely affected, was published at the examiner.com Web site. Read that one here.
Here's one more thought: If Southwest gains control of Frontier Airlines, as it's trying to do through a bankruptcy court auction, it could include Frontier's slots at slot-controlled National. Hmmm ... Southwest already is in LaGuardia and starts Sunday at Boston Logan. Does anyone see a Southwest Shuttle in the future?
