FORT WORTH, Texas — Fort-Worth-based American Airlines is reducing its departures at DFW Airport in March by approximately 1,600 flights or 52 flights per day, the airline said Thursday.

American will operate more than 5,400 peak daily departures systemwide in March, which is more flights compared to the March 2021 schedule, American said. WFAA has reached out to American to clarify what caused the change of schedule.

In March, American is currently scheduled to operate more than 700 departures per day from DFW, for a total of approximately 23,000 monthly flights.

The planned systemwide schedule in March is approximately 86% of the schedule we operated pre-pandemic in 2019. All customers will still be able to reach their desired destinations. If a new itinerary doesn’t meet a customer’s needs, they are able to seek a full refund under the standard schedule change policy

Democrats are going to have a rough time after they fire everyone that doesn’t follow the Party line.

Airlines need hundreds of new pilots every month due to quitting, retirement, etc.

There is a shortage of masked customers.

I was born premature. I can’t wear a mask for any extended period of time or while doing serious work.

Consequences of the Biden vax mandate. I am intimate with the big three airlines, they have the same problem. No one will admit it for loss of job, but the “ Resistance “ runs deep, pilots, mechanics, most employee groups.
I participated in an HR inquiry, “ they” felt smug and righteous in coercing employees to get the vax…..most employees know it is punitive, and are angry, very angry.
