Flight Schedule Questions
George wonders:
"Have any airlines added flights or taken away flights to existing destinations? I just made a Delta flight from Atlanta the other morning and was stunned there was only one other flight from ATL. I typically fly American so am used to more flights, but was just curious if there has been any rise/fall in existing service flight amounts?"
Flight schedules are always expanding and contracting. The cycles of expansion and contraction usually follow the peaks and valleys of the travel season. Spring and summer and the busiest times (more flights). The 1st Quarter is the slowest time (fewer flights).
Delta currently has three daily runs to Atlanta and it's been that way for some time. George...I suspect you're used to American's nine daily flights to Dallas!?

SGFpilot posts a follow-up:
"Hi. I saw on flightaware this morning that Comair-Delta Connection operated a CRJ-700 to Atlanta this morning. Is this service now with the CRJ-700 instead of the CRJ-200 series? If so great. That means that is a strong route with a strong market with the need for more seats via the 70 seat RJ. Thanks!"
SGFpilot is wondering if Delta is going to start using a 70-seat jet on the Atlanta route instead of a 50-seater.
The schedule shows the airline using a fifty neater. So, I'd guess that the 70-seater was a fill-in. Let's see what happens tomorrow...

The jet that showed up the next day was the scheduled 50-seater.
