Now, I am routed IAD-CVG on a CRJ (Grrrrr) and then onto DL36 to LGW.

I checked the seating for DL36 and in the last two days it has suddenly filled up at a very suspicious rate.. now only 8 seats in coach are open, versus a boatload on Monday.

This indicates to me that DL will even cancel international flights - what it touts as its main strategic direction and moneymaker. Arguably they had the seats to pull it off - but at what expense to customers and their plans?

Oh well, haven't been through CVG in forever - its worth a look..
