    I think that the impact on traffic at DFW is interesting.

    Looking at flight aware, the peak number of flights per hour goes from 120 on tuesday to less than 80 on Wednesday.

    Great find.

    AA expects 170 MD-80s to be back in service Friday morning, but will still cancel 570 flights.
    Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking. We have a small problem.
    All four engines have stopped. We are doing our damnedest to get them under control.
    I trust you are not in too much distress. —Captain Eric Moody, British Airways Flight 9
