And if the train comes off the tracks with a line of storms, stick a fork in it. Much like our schedules, it’s been optimized. This is before we even get to the in terminal experience.
I personally have never been rerouted in ATL - and I'm on a narrow body. I think the more in/outs of ATL the higher the chance, just because more room for thunderstorms to screw up the day. ATL isn't the terrible place everyone makes it out to be. Like bluejuice said, the ramp works very well, and absent a thunderstorm off the departure end of the runway, ATL can move some traffic.
