I don't have quite that much. Secondary issue is Feb 1st I had a motorcycle accident and fractured my pelvis. Now I'm back working so carrying all the extra stuff isn't fun 
And yes... North Springs long term is going to be jammed for sure. I'm sure many have my same idea. And agree again... I'm going to leave extra early and just sit in the SC.

I've never pulled the trigger, but have seriously looked at ImagineAir and Southern Airways and the like from PDK. It's quite a premium, but if they go where you want to be I can see the appeal. Also, I can just about walk to PDK if I wanted to...would be a wonderful airport commute.

Obviously commuters will not pay for such, but I could see a good uptake for biz visitors in town paying $100 or so for such while the "situation" exists.

I'd agree. Definitely would seem viable.

I didn't know what that was until I read this thread, but I see PDK airport all the time from the air flying the DCA-ATL route.
Could DL start flying an emergency PDK-ATL shuttle until I-85 gets put back together? Is there a terminal at PDK where security could be handled? What is the parking situation like? I see from airnav.com that PDK's main runway 3R/21L is 6,001 feet long, and could handle the likes of an MD-88, A-319 or 737-800.

I'm wondering about the MARTA North Springs station & parking; there's a large deck, but that's it. I don't think there's any additional space nearby, unless AT&T opens their deck temporarily to MARTA (I think it's AT&T parking next deck over).
North Springs is a GREAT option to Hartsfield from the north, but it can't handle long term parking for Hartsfield and extra riders from this mess.

1. There is not much parking at PDK
2. You have to get landing slots at ATL... working these flights into the system isn't going to happen overnight
3. There are lot of restrictions on this one due to noise as it's right in the middle of the city.

I don't think this is feasible

Whatever resources would go into making PDK commercially accessible, I'd rather have routed to improving MARTA service or fixing I85 faster.

Kinda like the woman a few years ago who bought a house off of Cheshire Bridge and tried to get dozens of legally operating adult businesses shut down because Cheshire Bridge isn't that kind of neighborhood. You had to wonder what type of neighborhood she thought it was given the plethora of adult businesses there when she bought her house.
