I'd second MSP-GSO as this would be beyond 750 miles (MSP-GSO is 923 miles) and it would at least mean being able to avoid the 50 seat RJs based on DL's internal policy of not using the 50 seaters on routes longer than 750 miles. From the West Coast, I always go via ATL to GSO because DTW is mostly 50 seat CRJs to GSO. I'm sure this factors into DL's calculations about MSP-GSO though.

I'd be happy to see SAT-CVG (DL just brought back AUS-CVG at least, so I will have that option once I move to the SAT area).

Other routes I wouldn't mind seeing:
DTW-HNL
ATL-OGG
SLC-CMH
SEA-CMH
SEA-SAT
DTW-VPS
A non-redeye for SEA-CVG and a more reasonable departure than 7 am for CVG-SEA.
