In other words, they are really important for the West Coast leisure market. That or DL really needs to step up their game from SFO. West Coast based travelers need good and direct access to other west coast cities, and we don't want to fly through Utah to make it happen.
Get used to flying other carriers. DL has enough to handle on the West Coast with the increased capacity in SEA/LAX. They are not going to start adding major international destinations from SFO and don't need to add anything more domestically to an already very competitive market.
