    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.

      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.
