I once rode an almost empty DL flight that had been delayed almost 20 hours. I don’t get the point.

There are the few times though that those flight might have 5 people on them.

Delta’s marketing and selling a reliable product. Every flight completion goes towards that regardless I f the circumstances of said completed flight.

I get that. It just seems like a waste of money to send out empty flights just to say they didn’t cancel.

KDA? Well, that takes effort. Right now we can't even figure out who we are... Premium, ULCC? Who knows...
We'll always disappoint because management doesn't care about providing a good product. They only care about filling their own pockets on behalf of customers and employees.

We will never care. We are a money laundering operation via moving people around. We make our money off credit cards. Then we transfer that to Wall Street by taking out “low interest” loans and by buying back stock. The customer experience never enters the equation.
