Jump to postDTW for sure is. Meanwhile ATL is bursting at the seams everyday. A new year, and pushing back on this narrative yet again. In what way is ATL bursting at the seams?

Jump to postWith regards to the added VCE flying next summer, why is ATL getting the extra 3 weekly flights instead of JFK. Is it because they couldn't get slots in New York?

Delta is increasing its operation significantly in ATL starting March 14 week. Increases of up to 400 total operations (arrivals/departures) on some days
Jump to postMost likely trying to make the left turn on F to approach end 10R. You’d like to think they weren’t heads down and hopefully just ice and maybe a bit too much speed and the nose gear never grabbed. Pretty easy to slide a MD nose gear even dry if carrying too much speed.
Jump to postWhat most people miss is the increased competition a second airport might bring.

Jump to postAppears that’s what they did as they were able to continue on and not end up an oil slick in the Atlantic. Requesting a high speed climb maybe there was a load or mechanical issue.
