Stay Classy Delta
But, one still has (many) options.
NYC, SFO; you DO NOT have to only fly Delta if you want a non-stop.
Imagine, how difficult, it is for those who are on a route where there is NO ALTERNATIVE OPTION for a nonstop, such as AMS-BOS-AMS. @:-)@:-)
I'd say, since there are equivalent nonstop alternatives JFK-SFO; stop complaining and just challenge/match to a competitor. End of story. Believe me, if I had options in my market, I would definitely pursue them if the deals were better. (and, in many cases they are, especially for business class; but my 3 day trips make a nonstop flight to/from AMS much more convenient....)
