Recall of O'Hare Slots Assigned to Great Lakes:

By a series of orders and slot trades, the net effect is that Great Lakes is currently assigned six O'Hare slots to provide service at Sterling/Rock Falls and Ottumwa and is using only four slots to serve Sterling and Ottumwa on a linear routing. When Great Lakes' subsidized service at Sterling/Rock Falls is terminated, the carrier will continue to need four slots for its Ottumwa-O'Hare service. Thus, we direct the Federal Aviation Administration to withdraw two slot exemptions and to work with Great Lakes to identify which two slot exemptions will be withdrawn.
