What does DL Shuttle do to differentiate itself from the rest of the DL flights thats any different or better than what US does? Nothing except for WIFI on a limited number of DL Shuttle flights. Where as US doesnt offer the WIFI but at least they offer mainline aircraft not express/connection aircraft.
Also, you mentioned assigned seating. At least on US Shuttle you can select a seat at check in. On DL Shuttle its open seating. I dont see how open seating is better than having a seat assignment.
