I fly this route often and just last night there were 34 names on the UG list so I truly believe the demand is there. What I think turned people off was the half ... way Delta approached this route with constant aircraft swaps and lack of equipment . Way too often I would talk to other flyers who would shell out the 3K they were asking to have a domestic 757 F setup. They got frustrated and started booking EC seats and just enjoy the free booze. Seattle is obviously getting a ton of focus from delta but they missed the boat on this one.
Now we just get those horrible 739s... Sigh
