It's possible, but I doubt it. Given the business-heavy nature of LHR, and the tension between service levels on VS and DL, I highly doubt DL would go with a product that doesn't have all-lie-flat, all-aisle-access. The 757s with BE won't be refurbished in any number until 2015, so if DL launches this route, expect the premium heavy version of the 763 to fly it.
