The 80% use-it-or-lose-it rules are still in effect. Their cessation coming at the end of the summer season likely means that most, or all, of their summer slot usage will achieve the 80%. However anyone buying the winter slots has to get aeroplanes on them very quickly to meet the rules.
'Ownership' is a relative term, they can quickly become someone else's.
The 17/18 winter season is from 2017-10-29 to 2018-04-24
