I received email today that flight 540 had been cancelled for next Monday and I was rebooked on afternoon flights out of FNT and DTW and not arriving in DFW until 9:00PM. I checked the schedule and it looks like the Sunday evening DTW-FNT flight (which overnights and returns as flight 540) was cancelled as well. Note these are one-time cancellations for these flights and not permanent schedule changes. I know NW and DL were cancelling flights with low bookings recently, but had thought this practice had ended.

The 9:00PM arrival was unacceptable as I have a meeting at 1:00 PM in Dallas. I was able to get Northwest to route me FNT-MSP-DFW, but the MSP-DFW segment is completely full, so I was unable to get a seat assignment.
