	Congestion Management at John F. Kennedy International Airport and Newark Liberty International Airport FAA-2008-0517 May 20, 2008 Re: Request of Air Carrier Association of America for Official Airline Guide Schedules The JFK/EWR NPRM notes that "since the spring of 2006, U.S. air carriers serving JFK have significantly increased their domestic scheduled operations throughout the day. Most of the increase has come from the two largest operators at the airport, Delta Airlines and JetBlue." The "Initial Regulatory Evaluation" for the NPRM lists current operating authorizations for each carrier at JFK and EWR. Neither the Evaluation nor the NPRM lists the increases in operations that carriers have put in place at both JFK and EWR over the last several years. That information is important to allow an evaluation of the impact of possible flight reductions as proposed in the NPRM. Therefore, we ask that you provide a list showing the total number of operations by all carriers at EWR and JFK as of the summer of 2005, summer of 2006, summer of 2007 and proposed schedules for the summer of 2008. Such information is important for parties to be able to fully evaluate this Notice and the impact it will have on the industry.

For the following reasons, Virgin America submits that the Joint Carriers’ request is anti-consumer, contrary to precedent, and without merit. Accordingly, it should be denied. The steady and protracted increase in fuel prices over the past sixteen months does not justify wholesale waivers of slot minimum usage requirements at five of the most important, high-demand airports in the country, over an entire Winter season. Already, the large percentages of relatively small aircraft operations at these highly congested airports represents a waste of scarce assets. To permit these Joint Carriers to officially retain their slots, when excess demand exists from carriers like Virgin America, would be arbitrary and capricious, inconsistent with the waiver standard and precedent, and bad public policy.
