Delta is going to be cutting its nonstops from MEM to ORD/RDU/IND with MCO dropping to once per week. This will leave them with daily service to ATL, MSP, DTW, CVG, LGA, LAX. Seasonal nonstops to LAS/SLC/CUN remain.

A pilot shortage of whose pilots? Delta's pilots? Nope. Smoke and mirrors. Better get the public whipped up in a panic to repeal the ATP and implement the Muti Crew License..

"parker emulates Anderson so I would expect the same from American". And why would AA follow suit? They can staff their regionals. At least for the short term.

More cuts: Is Memphis now just another city for Delta?
