If anything, given how DL is trying to deemphasize the NRT hub and do beyond flying, it might be them dropping SEA-NRT.
DL has a lot of money invested in NRT and have centered their entire Asian operation around that hub. With the 787 online it's taking traffic away from NRT and I for one am happy about that. It was a huge pain to get off flight from US dash through to another check point and to another terminal to catch China / Guam/ Taiwan / Vietnam flights. And the back ups at that "checkpoint"
