DL will also struggle to attract a lot of business travelers with its skeleton schedule and lack of any kind of service, especially on competitive premium routes. If they're hoping to make a bunch of money on salesmen/women traveling from BHM to GSO, they're going to be in for a rude awakening sooner rather than later.
Someone can drive from BHM to GSO in under 7 hours in their own car with reduced Covid exposure and no connection in ATL.
