How many landing slots does VA have in NY?

That's what Alaska is paying for.

Responses:

Barely any, and def not worth that price. Alaska is paying to eliminate west coast competition. -- (edited) - ty97 Apr 3, 16:33 4
- That's a significant number of valuable cross country flights. If Alaska wants to be more than regional this is the only way to do it. -- nm - iSpam Apr 3, 16:35 3
  - I don't think they've shown any interest is being anything more than regional other than the few flights they have to the east from the west. - ty97 Apr 3, 16:43 2
    - But still, even if that's what they are after, 2.5B is yikes-worthy. - ty97 Apr 3, 16:44 1
      - Oh I know it is but it might be the last boat out. -- nm - iSpam Apr 3, 17:31
