Select LAX717 (A or B) and whichever month you want to check. Then once the bid package loads up you can filter by Checkin Station to see an exact count of trips that match the station you put in. If the station doesn’t appear in the filter, that indicates there aren’t any reports there for the given bid period.
The AE Tool is free for all Delta pilots:

There is not a second to spare in the June and July schedules. A rain drop is a rolling delay.
Worse for our customers is that when they misconnect to the afternoon/evening international push we say "so sorry... weather." We bounced the CFO of a division of IBM last week. He's a FF Delta One.

If we value our revenue premium then changes must be made. If we aspire to be US Air dba American, then we're on track.
Personally, I prefer the road less traveled.

My top three wake turbulence encounters have all been 321s under calm winds

That guarantees us an on-time percentage no greater than 66 to 75 percent. These percentages are made-up ballpark based on my personal experience, but they’re not too far off.
Also heard international meals will no longer be served on a tray in coach to save money. Saves money by not paying caterers to put food on trays. The test flight PDX-NRT has the meal service consistently lasting 4-5 hours with food all over tables and seats. So much for sleeping for business people - or any pax for that matter. Look for this soon on all international flights. Pax don’t really want it but “they” are going to jam it down and make it happen so Inflight can say they’ve “saved” money.

Do you really believe this? Did you read what goes into building just rotations on the reliability side?

The thing is, this is manageable and we are being managed to break it.
We hire great crews who want to run the best operation in the world. Then we publish a schedule which sets them up to fail.
When we wonder why BOB showed up, we need to remember who sent BOB the invitation.
