5 of 16 BE seats on this 757 are empty. Delta isn't saving on food as three trays went back to the rear galley for the FAs.

I'm going to status match with United. Only takes 18,000 miles within the first 90 days to get Platinum status for the rest of the year. Unfortunately they won't match my DM status.

4 RT's is all it will take and there are much better flight options to SFO from Newark. Unfortunately will have to go to Jersey, but as a Economy-class constrained business traveler, an upgrade chance is a lot better than 0% chance on Delta.
