I am curious as to what I am reading about the "remedy" slots.

Is it correct that the remedy slots must be used for their specified purpose for a minimum of two years, after which they can be employed for any purpose ? So in theory they could be redeployed after two years as longhaul slots if the timings were suitable and then could they be sold on the open market, netting a handsome potential profit for the original beneficiary ? It might even make domestic losses bearable for two years .

Or would there be a prohibition on their sale or trade in perpetuity because they were allocated free as remedy slots, i.e. they could only be returned to the airport authority ?

Welcome comment anyone with a good knowledge of the system.
