How has it been any different than summer’s past?

Just guessing but probably a sympathy play from the other carriers.

DFW has was hit at least weekly if not several times a week repeatedly for like two months straight. Last year I remember a few days but for the most part it had high pressure over the area for like three months.

It’s been very different from my past 20 summers there.

Not only that but a couple weeks ago PHL/LGA/DCA were all hit hard almost every other day.

The weather has not been kind to AA hubs this summer.

Could be. They announced they are acquiring 19 used 737-700s. It appears Copa only has 7 of them. None are parked in the desert. Anyone have an idea where the others are coming from?

I feel like you may be asking on the wrong sub-forum

I don't go to the NE anymore so I haven't even been paying attention at all...that sucks. That being said I think that is more normal lol.

It has seemed like ATL has escaped the worst of the stuff for the most part, and Delta runs 50% of their flights thru there vs 30% at DFW, so if it stays in the clear they can cope with the NE getting hit.
