Right - the best part of an LAX-LHR route is that it adds capacity and competition and it'll hopefully force down prices and open up some seats on AA and UA on that route.
Given DL's typical trans-Atlantic pricing, I doubt I'll ever take that flight on DL, but just the fact that they have it should be good for consumers.
