Who will get those LGA and DCA slots?!

[Matt Molnar]

25 hours left in the auction for the LGA and DCA slots divested by Delta and US Airways for their slot swap deal...and no bidders yet.

I presume they're just waiting until the last minute to avoid showing their hand.

I really like the eBay-style "Place a Bid" button on the FAA site: http://www.faa.gov/about/office_org/headquarters_offices/agc/ReAllocation/

There was a $5 million bid on the LGA "B" Bundle this afternoon. The highest bid listed for LGA "A" is $2 (yes, two dollars) and DCA is $1.

BUT, the auction closed at 5pm, which is apparently the same time everyone in Washington goes home. The FAA says they will not reveal the final hour of bids and the winners until tomorrow.

I have reason to believe the $5 million bid was from a NYC-based airline with blue tails, but this is not at all confirmed.

Jet Blue and Westjest won the bids

According to A net and you know they are always 100% right:rolleyes: West Jet and JetBlue took the LGA slots and JetBlue took the DCA slots

Would be nice to see some WestJet birds in the NYC area.

WestJet is already in the NYC area - 1x daily at Newark during the summer. Arrival around 1600L, departure around 1700L.
