Jump to postI'm assuming DL could use their 737-700's if needed, given their performance specs? Yeah, big capacity cut if it was a 1/1 replacement, but just asking in the capability aspect.

Jump to postHave probably said it every year for the past few years, but wish DL would bring back XNA-SLC. Loads more traffic than when they tried it ~10 years ago. Hoping they will once the airport reconstruction is winding down. To give them some credit, MSP times have gotten much better for XNA than they hav...

How can you fault DL for asking? They are of course looking out for their own interest just like any other airline. They are a very successful business and run extremely well.

G4 uses a ramp at XNA, despite there being unoccupied/unbranded gates with bridges readily available. I've heard mixed messages if this is a normal occurrence for G4 though...so I apologize in advance if this their M.O. for their smaller stations.
Jump to postThat isn't necessarily true, CVG-XNA/MKE/BNA were running for many years unprofitably, and were just now cut. After the merger they still were able to command a heavy fare premium from CVG flyers, but as more competition has entered the market ticket prices have plummeted for DL, hence routes like ...
Jump to postIs DL flying anywhere 1x with CR1/2? IMT for example is 3x. Thats 150 seats. Why not just cut frequency to 2x and use E70? That would give 138 seats, and unless those 3 flights are running at 100%, should be good. Ideally I would imagine they would like to axe CR2 all together so that they can be e...

Okay, I know this happens a lot in the airline industry. You book a flight a few months out, on a particular aircraft type, and the aircraft type is changed before your flight. In this case, I had booked a flight on Delta LGA-BOS for April 2019 on the new A220. This flight was booked specifically f...
