Delta to discontinue ATL-Dubai Flights.

given that DXB operates with an LR, it is a lot more capacity and capability than it is needed just to fly to Europe.

and the additional TLV flying will use some additional 777 capacity.

Meanwhile, back on this topic, stopping service to DXB frees up a lot of flying (or allows for a notable pull down). I wonder where that flying will-or won't- go?
777 fleet already has some slack. 
My guess is that slack will be used to to cover 744 flying next year while waiting on the 350. Wouldn't be shocked to see a new China city from LA with some of the slack though. 
 
WT, extra TLV is planned on the ER last I saw.

Now watch DL or DGS ground handle the QR flights out of ATL...
I know you've got your hard on about a union but seriously. They will handle them the same day they restart handling Alaska in Atl.

Who handles AS in ATL? 
 
Honestly thought it went to DGS?

It was for awhile. Maybe AA picked it up?

Not sure what any of that has to do w/a union, though...
maybe cause I think they are out on D now.

Just anything you can find to put DL in a bad light That's all
 
No joke, he hangs on the edge of his seat waiting for anything negative (real or imagined).

how are/were the loads to Dubai  (sorry dont remember the airport code)
  

It's DXB. No clue what either the loads or yield on the route are, though...

So DL (possibly) picking up a handling contract is a negative?

Okay then... :rolleyes:
