Federal Aviation Regulations set quotas (upper limits) on the number of operations per hour at each four major U.S. air carrier airports: Washington National, New York LaGuardia, Chicago O'Hare International and New York Kennedy International. The reservation for one of these operations is referred to as a 'runway slot'. The runway slots designated for scheduled air carriers are periodically assigned to the various carriers in advance and airline schedules are built around them. How many slots each airline gets is determined by mutual agreement among the airlines through airline scheduling committees. These committees might be abolished and their function might have to be performed by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). This report presents a method for administratively assigning slots to the airlines. It is based on observations made of the scheduling committees. The major difference is that in the scheduling committees, decisions are made in order to get unanimous consent; in the administrative procedure, decisions are made to maximize a measure of passenger service.
