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
But how many of those 34 would pay lots of cash for the D1 seats? That's the critical number. (Well, that plus how many of the non-status passengers would, plus how many people who didn't fly DL at all but would if they had D1 service, those latter counting extra.)
