Why is Delta still cancelling flights and other airlines have already recovered?

Short answer: some of our crew tracking systems are still backed up meaning pilots and or/flight attendants are having trouble getting placed on their shifts. Can’t fly without the right amount of flight crew available :/

(also keep in mind we have a large amount of flight crew personnel that commute to their various bases via plane… massive trickle down if a flight is cancelled)

We just got an update this morning that tomorrow is expected to be a normal day.

Minimal cancellations and delays so far this morning so that’s a great sign. Hoping this continues through the weekend - you should be fine OP.

I know that's depends on the amount I have to travel (and potentially stay) but at the moment this is unknown. Past 8 months was just twice a month + 2 nights stay.

The only thing I know is it won't be every week, the return trian ticket is about £80-100, depends I could plan ahead.
