It's the general consensus on this web board because everyone hates mesa/freedom, but in reality Delta still wants to reduce 50-seat flying anywhere they can. Freedom is scheduled to lose 6 planes next week. The remaining fleet cannot sustain the demand for a JFK hub. Thus instead of spreading Freedom too thin along the JFK routes, Delta decided to move us to CVG.
I really do feel bad for anyone that unwillingly has to commute, but this is the airline industry don't you have to expect this? Delta has now displaced the
ENTIRE FREEDOM PILOT GROUP TWICE! (MCO/ATL to JFK, and now JFK-CVG)
