Delta adjusts CVG schedule to boost profitability
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
October 23, 2009





Delta is adjusting flight schedules at the Cincinnati hub in January to improve overall profitability. The changes will not reduce mainline jobs or service or affect Cincinnati business travelers.

“It is in the best interest of Delta’s Cincinnati customers that we take every step possible to return the Cincinnati hub to profitability,” said Joe Esposito, managing director-Schedule Planning. “January’s changes are another step in the right direction as they reduce departures in the 11 a.m. flight bank that historically has been the smallest and least profitable for the hub.”

The January schedule maintains service to all 50 of the top destination cities from CVG, including daily nonstop service to Paris-Charles De Gaulle.

Flights will be reduced from 215 to about 190. Four cities – Huntsville, Ala.; Charleston, S.C.; Savannah, Ga.; and Tulsa, Okla. – will be discontinued from Cincinnati but will continue to be served from other hubs.

Breaking news from 2005, you mean? The long windown began in July of that year.

T-D,

First off, I doubt management gives a crap about pilots quitting at mainline or connection. Every pilot that quits saves them a few months of furlough pay.
And secondly, the thought of management actually caring about pilot commutes is also highly dubious.

Wasn't CVG the most profitable hub not too long ago?

Scoop:

I think what he is trying to say that management whats senior crews to quit so the company does not have to pay them. If you make life hill for senior crews, they might quit.

Thanks, I kinda figured that was the case but then remembered I was too lazy to check it out. BUT, I'm sure that means that they'll take over that many Comair routes though.

Opps, I mean Delta's routes that they are having Comair fly.

Was! With DTW and MSP Delta thinks they do not need CVG. I think Delta is leaving the door open for Southwest and RAH to takeover CVG.
