In the UA forum the AA vs UA thread has AA switchers very happy, but with the merger nowhere near complete I would not put all my eggs in that basket yet.
DL's wide body international fleet is 100% flat beds and 100% direct aisle access. It's great and has been this way for a couple years.

The international 757s are also all flat beds. IIRC there was a report recently of a domestic 757 performing the JFK-KEF (Iceland) route, which is a short flight and really isn't TATL.
