Delta's Hidden Scheduling Woes Drive Weekend Flight Cancellations

Delta canceled about 500 flights over the weekend, far more than American and United, due to crew scheduling issues. An internal memo shows pilots’ acceptance of extra trips collapsed to 2% from about 37% year over year, and reveals Delta relies on a complex 23.M.7 system to fill gaps, used 10–15 times more than last year, contributing to inefficiency. The airline is renegotiating its pilot contract, increasing reserves and hiring, and affected travelers can be rebooked at no extra cost and may receive compensation.

United CEO and Flight Attendant Blame FAA for Flight Delays and Cancellations.

United's CEO blamed FAA staffing issues for the "unprecedented challenges" faced by the airline over the weekend. The Association of Flight Attendants blames United's current leadership for crew scheduling problems and has called for more staff in the scheduling department. United had previously hired more schedulers to prevent similar issues this summer.
