Yes, I agree with your statement. The one A359 DTW-AMS legs have been in Deltas' schedule for quite some time (and was inserted into its schedule because the aircraft flying the route otherwise would have been overnight-ed in DTW for the next mornings TPAC departure). As Delta adds more A359's (and for that matter A339's) they will include certain flight combinations to be TATL-ing and TPAC-ing. Some of Deltas B767-300ERs do that now. Delta will now (for a few months this fall) try this out on one A359 ATL-AMS route.
