Delta ramping up 717 flights in ATL and DTW. Thanks SWA!

[General Lee]

Found this on another board, via the Routes website apparently. Impressive build up, and taking quite a few Regional routes back that were originally mainline. I believe Delta has about 30-35 717s in service now, with 88 total coming and maybe more than that eventually. And I think it even states ATL to Dallas Love on Oct 13th.

They have them in Northwest Arkansas now (XNA). Highest cost travel in the nation due to Walmart vendor traffic. AA owns the airport but now with Delta flying the only other mainline metal in there, might shift the balance of power a bit.

 

[BoilerUP]

Sounds silly, but it'll be neat to see narrowbodies in SHV and LFT.

 

[BILL LUMBERG]

Only GL could about something so insignificant to Southwest

 

[tankerhead]

Could....what?

 

[tankerhead]

I'll start.

...cream his jeans...

 

[Mercyful Fate]

Hmmmm, sounds typical of the airline geek to find such information as exciting. But, note the source and it all makes sense. I have never seen a "pilot" get such a hard on for scheduled service and aircraft types. However, I have seen socially retarded people get excited over this kind of stuff.

 

[johnsonrod]

What about Lubbock layovers? Probably will leave those to the RJs...

 

[FurloughedAgain]

Does SW fly to Lubbock anymore?

Umm ok, what? I thank SWA for allowing DL mainline to recapture a lot of previous mainline routes that were lost to RJs with these planes. The 717 appears to be the right sized plane for a lot of these city pairs, and that is great for everyone, including new upgrading Captains and new hires.
