• Aircraft coming out of mod lines
• and slightly closer to the date the effective measurement period of the AF/KLM JV
• 717 / 737-900 arrivals

But, some other indicators I watch are showing a slow down in the US economy this fall and the network / marketing people who make these decisions for Delta have not said anything positive recently.

So ... who knows? Management seems very happy to run Delta with a smaller footprint, especially if they can extract more revenue from it.
