Not only that, Delta Air spent $3.8 million to lobby for more slots. United, Alaska, and American Airlines objected because experts have been arguing for years that Reagan is dangerously overcrowded and had been experiencing near-misses.
Anyway, Delta got what they wanted and just last month the airport started allowing more flights.
Right after mollusk forced out the FAA chief too 🧐

Lobbying should be a criminal offense. It directly undermines the democratic pillars of American society.
One small nitpick, it’s called National airport, or Reagan National if you have to. Never Reagan by itself.
Thank you!
