I counted.
I can't count frequencies though, thats too much. Just look at it this way, we have about 8200 flights. Not every day, not every week. Just 8200 flights numbers out of ATL.
Of those 8200, 28% belong to the 88. Almost 8% by the 737. And 3% by the A320. 34% are done by DCI. 757 has a chunk there too before you count in the international birds. It may be an accurate indication of the %'s when it comes to actual movements.
I was told in the summer of 2010 the goal was to have 50% of the takeoffs and landings in ATL by all airlines be by Delta MD88s. Gosh it could've been by you ACL or a LCA that told me that, don't recall.
