Let's go for the gold -- I want 2-1-2 flat-bed coach seating on a 777 with 12 foot pitch (basically, queen size beds), and one flight attendant who won a state beauty pageant in the last five years, serving every other row. The fare must be $29 roundtrip with no restrictions, and Delta eats the PFC and other add-on taxes.
First Class should be the first half of the plane and consist of suites like on an ocean liner. I also demand full MQMs on all fares (including the $8 T fares, not just the $29 Y fares).
Please go back and reread my question. Next, please lose the sarcastic attitude and recall that Airbus is always boasting that they've deliberately manufactured their single-aisle aircraft with a slightly larger fuselage (in diameter) than Boeing precisely so that they COULD claim that they can offer slightly wider seats. Finally consider that one of the premises behind the A380 (if you believe Airbus marketing) is that it will offer more passenger room in ALL classes!
You should remember that their are other aircraft out there in the world besides the ones CURRENTLY in Delta's fleet!
