And the most surprising part: we were both FOs at the time!

That op-up seems to have used up most of my upgrade karma but I don't care... it was worth it.

I too will miss this route offering. I'm flying it next week and with regard to seat availability, the seat map (yes, I know not a good judge of # of sold seats but for some reason I can't get on EF from this client site) shows about 50% of the seats available, mostly in the back where whole rows are open right now. So, perhaps DL is having issues will lots of unsold seats on this route...
