I just stumbled across this article talking about an August schedule reduction by Delta. The math in the article of 4,300 flights and 302,000 seats works out to 70.2 seats per flight, and ~4 flights per day for 35 aircraft. The routes shown are also predominantly RJ routes. Could this be Delta pulling 35 RJs out of the network? I thought I read that they weren’t operating those aircraft this summer.

Does anyone see something else I’m missing?
