Jump to postBYU took a DL A321 PVU-BOI and return. It appears that the aircraft positioned from MSP, and the return flight then headed out to ATL. So MSP-PVU-BOI and BOI-PVU-ATL. It's easy to assume that DL would have rotated an aircraft from nearby SLC. But it doesn't always work that way. https://flightaware...

I notice from Flightaware that the aircraft flew fairly regularly until Dec 18 and then no flights until today, so sitting for 10 days, I guess understandable with the Christmas holidays. Just seems mechanical.

I think the green portion of the line is the only acutal flight, the grey portion is estimated.
If you click on the replay it says estimated for the rest of the flight.

Another tragedy, happened this morning and from the destination location of Peachtree Dekalb outside Atlanta, I think these may be LSU fans going to the game today. Very sad.
