DL Schedule Mess
DL is canceling all morning flights to ATL from SAN effective March 13. 6:55 and 8 am are gone. Lost my connections to Europe next Saturday, and teh only thing they could do is to put us on the LAX-ATL flight (or overnight in ATL, or go SAN-MSP-DTW-Europe). No compensation ($280 car service to LAX and $100 from SAN instead of the $50 parking), less convenient seats, etc. The DM agent I spoke to was very nice, checked all systems and spoke to operations and confirmed that it was not a system glitch.
Canceling all morning flights to ATL is unfathomable -- these are the heaviest traveled routes, and now there is no way to connect to Europe at all without o/n or flying out of LAX. Handling the SNAFU with the existing reservations - even worse. Very disappointing. "Honesty and integrity" and "taking care of our most loyal flyers"? Hardly.
