INSTRUCTIONS
WHAT IS THIS REPORT?
This compares what is for sale THIS WEEK for the stated period versus what was for sale LAST WEEK...It does NOT compare to last year or now (UNLESS OTHERWISE STATED).
HOW DO I READ IT?
XXX-YYY DEC 4>5 JAN 4>5 ; means that the listed airline changed the frequency between the two airports to add from 4 to 5 roundtrips in December and January. No other months were changed. I only list one direction, although it is possible the listed change is only one way. It is too difficult to average the two directions. I assume the change is roundtrip and that is most often the case.
HOW ARE THE DAILY DEPARTURES CALCULATED?
This report uses total operations for the month listed, divided over the days in the month.
WHAT ARE THE FRACTIONAL FLIGHTS?
Non-daily operations create fractional weekly service. In most cases flights are rounded, but in the case of international service or markets with low frequency, fractions are shown. If a flight operated 5 days out of 7, it would show 0.8 flights.
WHY ARE THERE WEIRD FREQUENCIES IN FAR AWAY MONTHS FOR LCCs?
Most airlines publish schedules 11 months in advance. This report covers the next 9 months. That avoids seeing schedules as they are loaded. Several LCCs load their schedules less than 9 months into the future. Their schedules may also end mid-month. If B6 loads their schedule until Jan15, all flights in Janaury will show half frequency because of the way the report is created.
WHY IS A WHOLE AIRLINE'S SCHEDULE SHOWN AS CHANGING FOR A FUTURE MONTH?
Similarly to the previous question, some airlines load their schedule from nothing inside the 9 month window of this report. When their schedule is extended it will show as new service because there was no previous schedule to compare to. In some instances I will show a more valid comparison against another period.
THOSE FLIGHTS AREN'T DELTA, THEY ARE PINNACLE
This report only shows the marketing code. It is too complicated to show all the operators.
THE FREQUENCIES MAY HAVE CHANGED AS YOU SHOW, BUT THE SEATS DIDNT CHANGE BECAUSE OF EQUIPMENT SWAPS
That is a natural weakness of a frequency based report, but it provides something to discuss below.
THE FREQUENCY DOESN'T SHOW A CHANGE, E.G. 4>4
This happens as a result of rounding. There is a change in service that is large enough to be listed, but through rounding it does not appear.
I marked some of the ones I thought were interesting with an "*".

OMG! I just check this out.. 1 MD80, 1 CR7, and 2 ER4! REALLY! What in the world are they thinking! They are already bare thin right now. Here's hoping United puts 4x 319/320 on the route to pick up the slack.
Or perhaps Delta will come in and offer 3x E70/CR9 service and pick up more business travelers that AA seems to be letting go..

AA is readjusting their non-LHR schedule to Europe. The Caribean has to be pulling back the schedule for the slow summer season.

Could this be in response to AF flying the A380 to ATL in the summer?
Edit to say: Should have said that this might be an indication that AF intends to use the A380's capacity in the summer to ATL, not to make it seem as though I have some evidence that AF is indeed using the A380 to ATL.

I'll be astonished if this returns next summer (although I was wrong about summer 2011) with AA having slashed virtually all non-hub flying from BOS. There's no connecting feed at either end apart from overflow from the other hubs.
IMO it makes little sense for AA & BA to both offer daytime services eastbound with departure times only 40 minutes apart. Subject to available aircraft, BA could upgauge the morning departure to a 744.

Hate to say it but this flight has really stopped making sense - the O&D traffic for Amsterdam and points beyond can't possibly be enough to justify even a not-daily flight, and at this point there's very little feed into MEM for this or any other flight, and even less from cities that can't just as easily go through ATL or elsewhere.
Is it melodramatic or overstatement to say that when this flight goes away the MEM hub is officially, 100% "Delta has left the hub building" done for?
Perhaps the Wizard is launching daily flights via hot air balloon to counter the Wicked Witch of the West's no-frills broomstick service? Or maybe it's a flight with self-help doctor on board? Who knows...

Trimming FAT-GDL in January makes sense. Numbers in January and February are always miserable. That Y4 didn't cut might confirm what I've heard, that after a slow start Y4 is now the leader in the market. October numbers were the 3rd best since the service to GDL restarted in April, even though AM was X2.

Well, IMHO they are mostly eliminating overflying of MIA from JFK. I don't know if those flights flew last Summer. I don't think it is meaningful. I think the ERJ markets drops are more filled with future foreboding, but there are lots of ways to read the tea leaves.
IMO it makes little sense for AA & BA to both offer daytime services eastbound
DL must be very happy.

True

Maybe, but I still think ORD is the bulk of their losses.
Yeah, there is a "suppression" code that is supposed to designate duplicates from "parent" flights. That one was marked in their filing as a parent mistakenly I'm sure.

Instead of "Delta has left the building", I'd say "James Brown is dead". LOL

It could be nothing, but if this indeed is a permanent schedule down-gauge I wouldn't be surprised....I don't think their product is well-received. Some one correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't their customer retention rate extremely low? It seems like they've stagnated at FLL and it seems to me the typical narrative for them is that they do well out of the gate when they start flights, but once people get over the $19 fares and realize they pretty much have to pay for everything else, they prefer to just go with the other carriers and not have to deal with the stress of what "a la cart" services they'll have to pay for.
I've always been skeptical of they're FR-like plan, I just don't think there is the stomach for it in the US as much as people already complain about the extras the legacies charge for, just my opinion though.
Quoting enilria (Thread starter): DL PIT-CDG APR 0.6>0.7 MAY 0.6>0.7 JUN 0.6>0.7 JUL 0.5>0.7 AUG 0.6>0.7
Gotta hand it to DL, they seem genuinely interested in making this route work.
Quoting enilria (Thread starter): *DL MEM-AMS MAR 0.7>0.6 APR 1.0>0.6 MAY 1.0>0.6 JUN 1.0>0.5 JUL 1.0>0.6 AUG 1.0>0.6
Sad to see this route struggle, but there's hardly any business case for a flight between MEM and AMS without a lot of feed on the MEM end. It makes me wonder why MEM, for the decades that they have been a hub, didn't capitalize on their status more in bringing business to the area and growing the city like CLT.

[What figures are you looking at that indicate this flight has"really stopped making sense". The flight is doing just as well as it has ever done for the past many years.

I have impeccable intuition, I for one have no use for numbers, as I've said at least 100 times numbers are overrated, 60% of Americans agree with me.
If the flight is such a performer thank goodness they're scaling it back, I like airlines that play a little hard to get.
What does AA/US merger mean for CLT/JFK/PHX/North America/Southern Hemisphere/God's Plan for the Universe

How have you determined that 60% of Americans agree with you. Must be wonderful to be impeccable.I know the Pope is supposed to be infallible, but you seem to best him. Please give us some predictions based on tha wonderful intuition you have.

perhaps the MEM-AMS flight is only going out on days when the hub has the most flights? Just looking at the schedule it seems MEM is kinda bare bones as far as flights go on Saturdays.

Quoting jfklganyc (Reply 16): "Ultimately, I can see AA reducing JFK to hubs & intercontinental service with a comprehensive codeshare with B6 for other domestic destinations and the Caribbean."
Really?
It's a cornerstone (1 or only 5) with a billion dollar, brand new terminal.
That would be a real mess if they did.
I think AA hates DL much more than UA. I really do not see them surrendering anything to DL of consequence.

You make a good point about customer retention. You may be right.

I enjoy sarcasm. I agree. Airlines tend to cut back unsuccessful flights.

The flight has been over 80% connecting and they have shut most of the hub since last year. I'm hoping you are also practicing your sarcasm. Int'l O&D data can't be posted by federal law, so you will just have to trust me.

26 flyguy89: If this were true, the flight would be operating daily during the peak travel months to Europe on an A333 instead of less-than-daily on a 763.
