Don't know the explanation, but this is why you don't encourage your good customers to look at the competing alternatives.

It's certainly working well for me. Flew DL F SEA-PHX on Monday for $239. Nice experience including shower in the SkyClub on arrival from NRT plus meal pre-select. Too bad DL has gone to 36" pitch in F on their 320s. It was noticeably tight.
