flt 40 was downgraded to a 757 yesterday, flt 2 and 21 have the same fate today.

I have noticed far more downgrades recently on this route. I'm wondering if this will continue to get worse (union battles with the ground crews / maint) plus fewer planes in the skies means little pad room for irreg ops and wx.

I feel bad for the flt 40 folks. They were scheduled to leave at 1040am and left around 6pm on a 757!
