#ORD-DSM-ORD
Maps of the Delta and United cuts loaded so far, as interpreted from the FlightAware cancels reports.

Not all frequencies on these routes, and decent chance things continue to shift. But this is what I'm seeing right now.

Yeah, DSM is a li'l ol' airport in the middle of three other major hubs (ORD, MKE and STL), so it doesn't need much.

Og før det var diagnosen "moralsk svikt" 🥰🥰 er faktisk ikke så langt tilbake, fra moralsk svikt til MBD. Og enda bruker Norge ICD-10 hvor ADHD ikke engang eksisterer som ord. Så i utredning brukes DSM-V, som ICD-11 har samme kriterier i, for å utrede.. såeh.. ADHD finnes ikke i ord i ICD-10..

Here's a brutal one. AA to DSM diverted to ORD, no idea what they're gonna do from here. Little to no gates available here.

up too early to drive to DSM to fly to ORD to see Petey @ Metro

DSM has been closed since late Sat night after an Endeavor Air CR9 slid off the rwy 31/taxiway D6 intersection. Am expecting the airport to open soon but it’s interesting to compare how much info each major daily service airline provides on its flight status updates—United is the clear leader

Major airports are refusing to air Kristi Noem’s propaganda video blaming Democrats for the shutdown, and there’s a reason: it violates the Hatch Act

You can’t use taxpayer resources for partisan attacks. Period.

After bringing back DSM-STL 2x/day for almost a decade, today Southwest pivots back to DSM-MDW as part of a Midwest retrenching of its Chicago base. This will be roughly 9,100 seats/month out of DSM pivoting to Chicago, adding to the roughly 22,700 seats/ month AA and UA already fly DSM-ORD.

Actually CID-ORD, by seats. This is a 30 day average view. By avg daily available seat miles it’s DSM-PHX (not noted here)

Ouch for those employees; Air Whisky flies for American to Waterloo/Cedar Falls (two/day to ORD), in addition to a few flights per day to MLI, CID and sometimes DSM. AA’s other regional flying (Envoy, Republic, Skywest, PSA etc) will pickup the slack

I think it’s great that airlines have gotten financially comfortable enough to do an good ole fashioned market share war…

I looked at mid-July fares from my hometown, DSM to ORD and it’s only $128… fares on that route haven’t been that low in years!

Oppositional Reality Disorder.

DSM 6, here comes a new diagnosis:

What if people who aren’t cautious about COVID-19 or Climate are just…wrong?

I didn’t say it was *easily* treatable.

But point well taken.
