I have no doubt that changes would likely mean DL will simply take a different route to the bottom and not change the destination.
This isn't the first time that corporate whiz kids pulled a boner. One I recall was when Target closed stores at 9:00 p.m. because some bean counters figured that fewer people shopped between 9:00 and 10:00 p.m. What they didn't bank on is that the early closure discouraged shoppers rather than diverted them to come in before 9:00 p.m. That decision was reversed fairly quickly.
