To explain further, this is an issue over technical terms. Many people do call Delta One "first class" because it is the nicest cabin that Delta offers. However, industry wide, "first class" on international flights refers to a level of service that is above and beyond anything that Delta offers. Confusingly, Delta's domestic front cabin is called "first class" even though this domestic cabin is not nearly as premium as Delta One, which is a business class cabin.
