Way to build a hub Delta!
We keep being told how bad we are doing in the NE. Juneau was a utter disaster for Delta over the summer. We could not get in there 1 day the entire summer! How many days did Alaska not make it? The single day we did not make it the aircraft had the performance to return to SEA rather then stick the passengers in Sitka!
