And by my clients, since it seems that, at least for now, I have no viable alternative to Delta.
Southwest, Allegiant, Frontier? There are some alternatives. My employer has us fly out of CVG (Cincinnati / Northern KY). That was a main Delta hub until they were forced to allow more competition in. Southwest, Allegiant, & Frontier have took off (pun intended) on sales and Delta has been forced to cut their prices. CVG went from one of the most expensive airports to one of the most reasonable priced within about 3 years time. There are alternative carriers.
