Service at CLT?
I'm scheduled to fly out of CLT Monday night at 6pm. Currently the airport is experiencing the AA / PSA meltdown. My flight is showing as ontime but can anyone confirm that Delta is handling things there? Thanks in advance.

AA's meltdown will have no effect on DL operations, but lines might be longer if AA is rebooking their passengers on DL flights (I doubt it though).

You're right of course, but AA is such a big player at CLT that it's not out of the question for the airport to be adversely affected when AA has a shutdown. As I said, the website has the flight as being on time but that's not as reassuring to me as from hearing from someone there. The meltdown is not just today. It started Thursday night, there have been back-and-forths on it being over, and then not being over. Latest news is till noon on Monday but I've heard that before. Meanwhile no one is saying precisely what the problem is.

To clarify, it’s not AA mainline but rather their wholly-owned subsidiary PSA. It’s a sizeable chunk of flights, but prob less then a quarter of all AA traffic @ CLT.

Everything was normal on Friday afternoon (first day of the meltdown). Heard quite a few pax commenting they hadn't been to this section of CLT in years, so seems like AA is rebooking on DL.
