Not that it really matters since no one seems to G.A.S. about differences in pre and post month credit values, the enormous inefficiencies in coverage generated by scheduling, etc.

I’m happy to profit from the chaos, but it’s hard to understand the company’s willingness to accept and endure the current situation.
Hard to say but my last shop (ULCC) stated it costs the company north of $70,000 to cancel a flight. Probably more loss here at DL. Also the airplane isn't in position for the rest of the day etc..
