This price difference would then be passed along
to the consumer and the slots would naturally balance themselves over time.


So you agree that air fares are artificially low and unsustainable

Yes but the free market, in this case charging more for better landing

and/or federal is subsidizing the prime spots and over charging for the
bad ones.
