My schedule worked out perfectly for this trip, as I have a somewhat long layover in New York (was going to run into the city), and get back into GSO in the afternoon (when I could have someone pick me up). However, looking at the schedules, my options are pretty limited. Also, the incoming turn for this flight is running at about 40% load, although the other possible turn plane is at about 70% (DL2010 is scheduled as JFK-SEA-JFK, but I would think that they would turn DL2053, which arrives in SEA at 2100 as the turn to SEA-JFK DL2010 and have the JFK-SEA portion of DL2010 RON at SEA to turn as DL2031 the next morning...)
If they cancel your flight, just ask for an original routing credit and take whatever other option they give you. More miles for less flying is not a bad deal, especially on a MR. I'm sure the ATL redeye(s) wouldn't be cancelled.
