Not sure what you mean by "axe" though- the DL flight or all of SEA/LHR (which I don't see happening).
I personally like the timing of SEA-LHR on DL (7:30 PM means that you can fly to Europe right after work, for example, and I prefer DL over BA) but it's filed for less than 5x weekly (I think 2x) during the winter, which makes me think that DL is struggling to make the route work. It is filed for an A339 for next summer right now though. I guess we'll know for sure when DL loads the schedule tonight. I wish there were more nonstops to Europe from the West Coast on Delta metal.
