New Scheduled Loaded on April 21 for Flights Effective June 07

Check out http://www.delta.com/schedules/trave...ched/index.jsp for an updated schedule effective June 07. Impacted itineraries won’t show changes until April 22nd (usually takes a day to load to our itineraries).

I noticed an ERJ-145 operated by ExpressJet Airlines in SLC (SLC to LAS). I believe ExpressJet is new to SLC. Anyone know anything about ExpressJet? I also noticed that SLC to PHX is either 757 or CRJs.

I am still hoping for a return of the non-stop SLC to BDL.

What about your favorite route?

Looking at the new schedule, it looks very, very bad for one of my trips. We were taking a red-eye from LAX-CVG on 03July, connecting to AZO the morning of the 4th. This had the benefit of being able to spend the 4th with family without missing work on the 3rd.
The schedule change shows the first flight from CVG-AZO to be at 4pm on the 4th now.

Have a flite in June SEA-MIA. We've gone from a 2 hour connection in ATL to 3 hours, then 6.5 hours, back to 1 hour, now 50 minutes.
Return ATL-SEA has been switched to 757-200- showed us in 2E/F. Wow- that would be interesting- wing seats?
Almost like watching the stock market

They restored mainline service ATL-GDL (evenings), after eight months of regional jets.

I'm VERY grateful, DL.

What's the average maximum CRJ flight length and are international runs with regional jets good business?

On June 7th out of MDW, DL will discontinue the 3x daily Delta Connection service to Boston.

LGA is 7x Daily E-170
ATL is 9x daily with 1 CRJ-200, 6 CRJ-700's, and 2 E170's.

Delta is the undisputed champion of schedule changes. Nobody else even comes close.

While there are always winners and losers with these changes, I like how sometimes you could end up trading up for better flights.

My late afternoon flight from AVL to CVG on July 3rd has gotten completely blown up. Looks like I'll be heading to ATL. Bummer.

I've heard LY is actually a lot worse.

I have written several times over the years that a flight reservation on DL (and probably everyone else, for that matter) is a sort of placeholder. It really has no basis in fact until a few weeks ahead of time.

Oh man. They have reduced domestic capacity like crazy. SMS agent just told me that the 12:55 am 04July redeye from LAX-ATL is overbooked by 40! They are now using 757s on routes that used to regularly fill 763s and 764s.

My new itinerary for the 4th of July holiday went from a 40 min layover in CVG en route to AZO to a 5+ hour layover in ATL. What a nice way to spend the morning of the 4th

I won this time around. I got an earlier flight even though it was just a flight number change. That earlier flight was previously priced at over $100 more.

Oh boy, got moved from a nice Freedom E145 to a Comair CRJ100. And my connection time in JFK is now 29 minutes to boot.

I cannot find the minimum connection times online, but I am willing to bet dollars to dimes that 29 minutes is not a legal connection at JFK. You would therefore be able to negotiate a better set of flights by calling DL.
