I don't often fly out of Atlanta in the morning, but did go ATL-SDF this a.m. There were about 100 empty seats on an MD80. The flight at the next gate was ATL-LIT. The screen showed 107 seats available in coach alone.
There could be a lot of reasons for this anecdotal observation , and a Thursday morning may be a worst case example, but no matter what, this is certainly disconcerting for anybody that is rooting for Delta to turn things around. If this is at all typical, you can't blame them for cutting service, and converting to RJs, but that doesn't mean we have to like it.</font>
maybe these are repositioning flights and are not expected to be very full?
