Granted, I don't fly out of DTW much but I used to be based there at my previous airline beginning just before the DL/NW merger. So I guess Im remembering the "heydays". Im not suggesting we need to build it up to ATL #2 but just that some of the connecting flows to and from ATL could instead go through DTW which can absorb much more capacity than it currently sees, notwithstanding the apparent staffing issues. But what do I know...
