With DL entering the market, you'll have three carriers with lie-flat service: B6, DL, and UA. You'll have two carriers offering their premium transcon service: B6 and DL; three if UA makes this a 'ps' service. Then add in AS/VX who will presumably continue with an SFO flight ex-BOS. That's a lot of premium capacity. It will be interesting to see if AA enters the fray; highly unlikely for SFO, but possibly for LAX.
