I just heard tonight, on CNN, that Delta has announced that they will
cancel some flights to save fuel, by notifying the people booked on
those flights two days out. The way I understood it, was that if the
flight on a Wednesday is not selling, they will on that Monday cancel
the flight and rebook on other Delta flights!!!! They said that it
would mainly effect Tues, Wed and Sat flights. Soooo, I have a flight
on Delta on a Wed and right now it is at about 30% capacity, the
flight is for 11-16. So they can can me Monday the 14th and change my
flight!!! I am flying international, I am going from Fort Lauderdale
to NYC, connecting to a flight to Barcelona..I had a three hour lay
over, I am not that concerned about the change, but if they shorter
the connection time by placing us on a flight that gets to NYC and we
are running to get the international flight..

anyone else hear this tonight on CNN? Did I understand it correctly?
