So, your claim is that DL ex-SEA will be stealing traffic from UA (ex-SFO), and to a lesser extent UA(ex-LAX)? And I assume, AA (ex-LAX)?
To some extent, but mostly from other places (DEN, PHX, LAS, PDX, etc.) that have no or limited direct Asia service. UA handles a lot of flows through SFO, and now those flows may be more optimal through SEA, not to mention there's another option for a lot of folks (e.g., SAN) that wasn't there before.

Paid First Class. DL has a better product.
