Arrow Something Going On

No, but I was pleasantly surprised during my Saturday (5/22) flight SEA-MSP to find out that our metal switched three times from a 757-300, to a smaller 757-300 and then finally to a much nicer Airbus A330 (I was in FC in 1B so this was a WELCOME change). Judging from the PAX holding Eukelele's that disembarked in SEA from our plane, I would say the flight came from Honolulu. It looked like we had a lot of folks that had come over from AS (maybe due to a AS cancelling their Noon SEA-MSP flight?)... these folks comprised mostly PAX who were Alaska Cruise Ships that embarked/disembarked in SEA. We also had a LOT of Japanese PAX on our SEA-MSP flight, so maybe DL is playing a little "consolidation" roulette with their flights to NRT from SEA, MSP and ATL (to your question). Sounds like the bean counters are minding the operations a bit here. It all seems a bit naughty on DL's part (at least to me).
