What are your typical destinations? I could understand having to double-connect out of a minor market like LWS or something, but LAX ... that's ridiculous.

Thoughts, opinions, rumors, insider information on the DL fleet future welcome...
There are a few (10-15) 757s coming next summer. There's a bunch of speculation on places where they may be deployed ... west coast-HNL, SLC-Hawaii, JFK-Europe, etc. It may free up an extra aircraft or two to LAX, but its hard to say where it'd end up.
