That hasnt happened..yet. I think bookings are coming in 90 days out. Blocking all middle seats for social distance
My girlfriend was looking at flights from DEN to SLC last week..$70 on DAL and SWA..this week..$500.
Everyone is waiting to see how things shake out. I really think Delta will not furlough. Positive waves, Mortiarty!
And dont listen to PopCopy..hes not Delta. Just an angry troll..
Jmho..CG
just a little more information...
The furloughed pilots that were out 10 years were by choice. Some had other things that were going well and didn’t want to return at the bottom. 6 years was the longest mandatory furlough. 2001-2007.
