5. TM views flat bed conversion on INTL flights as very important; DL has just authorized an expenditure to covert the seats on the 747-400s to lie flat modules; seats will be installed so that all have direct aisle access; in other words, no "stepovers" will be necessary. He estimates the conversion on the 747-400 fleet to be finished by late 2013/early 2014.
