With United pulling out of JFK they have a unique oppurtunity to be very strong on the transcon route, which probably has a lot of paid D1 given all of the tech money in the region. They have also done a good job of establishing themselves as the premium carrier on the JFK-LAX route, though I'm not sure how much money that makes. However, LAX has a lot more options and it is a very easy connection there. Having recently moved to SFO, we have decided to remain Delta flyers and are mostly happy with that choice--there are rarley long lines, and the terminal is nice and easy to navigate. The old SC situation was the major issue.
