Delta's new winter schedule?

[firemanmark]

I just saw on the news that Delta is announcing a new "winter flight schedule" today which will (obviously) have less flights than prior to what was scheduled up until now. I'm not sure when this will go into effect, and I hope this doesn't ruin too many WDW plans out there.

I saw that, too and am anxiously awaiting the news. They have already stopped all the non-stops out of Islip - every flight goes thru ATL or CVG now - what next???

but I'm honestly hoping that they change our flights over the Xmas holidays. I got them really cheap, but the times are terrible (don't get there til 11:30 pm, have to leave to fly home at 5:30 am). Please don't think I'm a bad person, just want more time at my favorite place, WDW!

From the NYTIMES: I would keep checking my flights if you are scheduled.

ATLANTA (Reuters) - Delta Air Lines Inc. (news/quote) (DAL.N), the third-largest U.S. airline, on Wednesday said it expects a substantial decline in revenue through next year in the wake of sharply reduced demand for air travel following the Sept. 11 attacks.

The Atlanta-based airline, which earlier Wednesday followed other major commercial carriers and announced layoffs of up to 13,000 employees, expects its stake in a $5 billion direct aid from the federal government will only provide short-term relief, Chief Executive Leo Mullin said.

Mullin, who told reporters during a press conference in Atlanta that he would forego his salary for the remainder of 2001, said Delta is talking to aircraft maker Boeingabout slowing down its jet acquisitions.

Laid off workers may have the option to later return to their jobs, he said.

The airline will also ``absolutely'' be cutting air fares to offset the sharp downturn in demand that followed air attacks by hijackers in the United States two weeks ago.
