In the Memphis paper today, they published the results of a recent analysis comparing Northwest's MEM flight schedule for this coming October with that of October 2007. The results would surprise those that insist Memphis will be cut first/hardest: While year over year capacity has been reduced six percent, frequencies have actually INCREASED two percent, and the number of destinations has increased as well. While I realize that implicit in those numbers is a shift toward smaller aircraft, I suspect much of that is simply a function of NWA retiring 757s and DC9s in favor of EMB175s and CRJ900s.
