When is Atlanta going to grow up and get a second airport like regular major cities?
Nobody gives one s*** how many planes pass through your airport when they are scheduled 30 minutes longer to account for all that taxiing time.
Delta is no better than the other legacy airline and lacks the service and domestic flights that SWA has. So many of the regionals flying under the Delta banner are really bad in terms of on time and fleet reliability that they really should take the Delta name off of their planes.

As soon as the world's busiest airport is no longer the model of operational efficiency and cost.
Three simultaneous arrivals even in Cat II conditions? While still departing off of two inboard runways? O'Hare has 5 parallels, and a sixth useble runway if you count 4R/22L in west flow, but they can't seem to get out of their own way because of the number of runway crossings required because.....
Arrivals on 10/28 have a long taxi, I'll grant you that, but anything coming onto the 8/26 pair has the end around taxiway on the west side, never have to stop to cross an active runway.

That is not an ATL thing, it is an industry thing. Delta and United both pad their block times network wide. Just compare block to flown on any route (flightaware.com). Look at Southwest, JetBlue, or even Spirit at ATL. Their block time allowance for taxi are no different than anywhere else.

Hey cumlicker... I said British Airways and Etihad were better than all US airlines. I didn't say Delta was. U B Dumbman
