DL’s 75S strategy is…odd
When DL acquired this sub-fleet of 757’s and configured them with D1 they were deployed on business heavy domestic U.S. routes (JFK/BOS-LAX/SFO etc) as well as some TATL routes.
I understand the landscape has changed post-COVID but I’m struggling to understand DL’s decision to drop D1 on business routes like JFK-SEA & JFK-SAN and are now using these premium planes on ultra luxury routes like ATL-RDU, DTW-TPA, DTW-SNA, DTW-SAN, ATL-SNA?!?
Wouldnt this be the perfect aircraft to fly JFK-EGE right now for the ultra wealthy for ski season or SLC/SEA/LAX-Hawaii as opposed to DTW-TPA? Or putting them back on B2B routes like JFK-SEA?
What is so lucrative about ATL-RDU, DTW-TPA, DTW-SNA or ATL-SNA they require flat-beds?
