Just spoke with one of the ACS top men:
Starting 20 nov Delta is increasing number of flights in ATL from 600/day to 770-790/day through the end of the year.
Opening the south wing of E terminal
MSP, DTW and SLC number of flights/day already within 10% under preCV.

I call BS on this! It can’t be true. Delta is fighting for its very survival!! Just ask Sailing! We must have concessions to save the company!!!! Now before it’s too late!!!

I don’t think DTW and MSP are within 10% of pre-COVID numbers. If that’s what you were sayin...

Yeah, they are definitely not. Still ghost towns most of the day.

I would agree, ATL is getting there but C us still closed down and DTW is now where close. MSP is getting closer and the new terminal for what’s open is getting busier with outdoor destinations being attractive.

October daily departures:
ATL ~570
DTW ~245
MSP ~240
SLC ~215

For November average daily departures: (Keep in mind this is average over the whole month so as the schedule increases toward the end of the month it will be higher than this)
ATL ~650
DTW ~260
MSP ~250
SLC ~230

Pre Covid average daily departures:
ATL ~910 / 71% back
DTW ~390 / 67% back
MSP ~350 / 71% back
SLC ~250 / 92% back

We are definitely getting there, but not within 10% of 2019 numbers yet.

It does cost 7.95 a month and I found many pilots unwilling to pay that.
Do you have to have a PC with Windows to run Widget Works? Doesn’t look like they have any Android or Mac apps.

Sorry on the numbers, guys. I forgot that pilots know better than station managers who run ramper staffing

Pilots on APC know better than everyone about everything.

Can’t argue with that, who else would know better than the pilots of APC? That statement confirms itself. I’m gonna tell my wife there is proof of my intelligence as soon as she gets back from whatever street corner tailhookah said she works on.
