Air crew rostering on Delta's ATL->JNB->CPT->ATL triangle route
Hello fellow anutters, I see that DL received permission to operate the triangle route ATL->JNB->CPT->ATL. I am curious how DL plans/rosters the air crew for this. How many pilots, what shifts, how the JNB -> CPT leg is handled. I understand there is an inbound crew that rests in either JNB or CPT, ...

Delta flight 2123 from ATL to SEA diverted and made an emergency landing in SLC today after the left engine had to be shut down inflight. Kudos to the crew for getting the aircraft on the ground and ensuring all passengers arrived safely. Story below. https://www.ksl.com/article/50112479/delta-flig...
