More cuts in MEM
 

Can't post the article but it's on the front page of the Commercial Appeal. Jax, Bhm nonstop gone. Tul, Stl, Rdu, Mco reduced-again. Can't remember the others but the Mem departures will be down to about 95...
The base will probably follow with a closure and I'm not sure how the pilots will be able to commute when there aren't any flights. Keep up the good work...

The writing has been on the wall for quite some time unfortunately.

Here's an article. I don't think Delta will have MEM as a hub much longer.

Delta cutting more flights in Memphis in January - Memphis Business Journal

lots of local businesses are ****ed at DL....and FDX isn't very happy.

What's DAL supposed to do? Fly unprofitable routes to keep the mayor happy?

Has nothing to do with routes being unprofitable. Memphis was developed by NWA as a counter to Deltas hub in Atlanta, Continental in Houston, and American in DFW. Now that NWA and Delta have merged, there is no need for Memphis, as all those passengers that were routed on NWA through Memphis are now routed to Atlanta. The only service left in Memphis will be what is supported by local Memphis traffic, just like CVG. Everybody with a clue knew that the day the NWA/DL merger was announced CVG and MEM would lose flights and be de hubbed. Well, everybody except the politicians who believed the Delta execs when they said the merger would not affect any of the hubs. Too bad they didn't get that in writing.

Sounds like what AA did to STL after TWA

Who cares if FedEx is upset?

Perfect timing for the new upgraded terminal, a new parking garage and resurfaced ramps.

Don't slam me, just stating a fact. Nothing about the mayor or the city or DL profits. Local businesses do not equate to the Mayor. Maybe if you lived here and knew several businessmen/women like I do that fly all the time you'd get the point. And by the way, everytime I flew some of those routes they were asking for volunteers since they were overbooked.
