Re: NYC (JFK/EWR/LGA/SWF/HPN/ISP) Aviation Thread - 2022

Any update on the slot divestitures required by the DOT for AA/B6 NEA approval? I believe they have 3 months after COVID slot waivers ended or 1 year after executing the agreement, whichever is earlier. Slot waivers ended at both DCA and JFK around October 31 if I recall, so is that still on track t...
