Significantly less competitive than LAX or SFO, geographically ideal for Asia (and AK) and possibly the fastest growing metro area in the West. Just my thoughts, I have no inside info

Cases are spiking in FL and I think it's because of all the vacationers down here. In Sarasota/Siesta Key it's busier than Spring Break right now.

In my neighborhood in Florida, many of our NY-based residents have fled to their Florida homes. Various reasons behind that which are best left to OMNI.

NYC to FL Travel
I think they collect the forms on arrival but not entirely sure. As others have said, I'm not sure it's enforced. In any case, the restriction despite recent extension has outlived its usefulness, with Florida having roughly 4 times as many new cases per day as New York State. NY, CT, and NJ have the lowest transmission rates in the US right now. The recent cases are not from travelers but from community spread in Florida, probably because of lack of adherence to social distancing guidelines. I have a Delta flight booked from NYC to TPA for the July 4th weekend to visit family at home - don't care if I have to self-quarantine. However, I'd rather not bring a case back to NYC. The Tampa area is spiking to the point where my sister (a doctor) is getting concerned and is now staying at home as much as possible.

Supposedly there is a mandatory 14 day quarantine for anyone going to Florida from the tri-state area (NY/NJ/CT). Apparently it is not being properly enforced, although it was just renewed and reiterated by the FL governor.

Flew into MIA last week and saw no sign of anyone being checked where they had originated from. No forms collected, no signs of quarantine. Things appeared relatively normal at MIA and South FL is normal other than masks. (Granted I was not in the DL specific area this trip, but AA).
Unrelated, but ANC was a complete zoo when I left. Long lines of people being checked as to whether they have a negative test result, requesting testing at the airport, or electing to 14 day quarantine. As an airline pilot I'm exempt (critical infrastructure) but I dread the hassle when I fly home next.
On trips I have taken with DL, the app prompts a travel advisory when you go to check in. Saw it for flights to ANC in May, and FL (TLH) in May as well.

I flew from JFK to FLL last week. We were met by Broward Co health officials who handed everyone a form to fill out. Why are you here, bus or pleasure, place to stay, etc. Supposed 14 day self isolation, but no one follows up.

Looks like the international cuts have been loaded in the schedule for August. DTW/SEA-AMS are showing as 1x daily. MSP-AMS also returns 1x daily on the A350 (that's nice!)

Been flying a lot in the Intermountain West the last few weeks and noticed lots of up-gauging and extra sections. CR2s becoming CR9s out of SLC and extra sections running within minutes of each other on routes like SLC-COS and SLC-GJT.

MSP-AMS is actually 5x weekly on DL in August. There were also 4x weekly KL flights when I checked a couple days ago, but it looks like those have been pulled.

I definitely don't think the KL schedule is reliable for August yet. SFO-AMS shows almost 2x daily in Aug (a few days are just 1x). Seems unlikely

How is DL rotating that A350 through the network? I don't think DL is offering any other international service at MSP in Aug.

The schedule is conducive to back and forth
MSP 17:22 - AMS 08:15
AMS 10:35 - MSP 12:09
On non-operating days, I assume it will just sit tight
