The first day of June saw just two cancellations for Alaska Airlines at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport. In the previous two months, hundreds of canceled flights left Alaska passengers stranded across the country.
During the monthly pilot schedule transition on each of those dates, Alaska’s reserve pilots who had already flown to their monthly limitation were not free to fill in and pick up flights that were a pilot short. That produced a spate of flight cancellations.
Alaska canceled 40 flights across its network from Friday through Monday, just 1% of its schedule, according to data from flight tracking company FlightAware. That compared with 7% of Delta’s flights over the same period. In a memo a day before the holiday weekend, Allison Ausband, Delta’s chief customer experience officer informed passengers that the airline was stretched thin and was proactively cutting 100 flights a day from its schedule through early August.
The result is “an operation that isn’t consistently up to the standards Delta has set for the industry in recent years,” Ausband wrote.Delta passengers must hope that the flight cuts minimize cancellations ahead. The airline had four canceled flights at Sea-Tac on Wednesday.
