While DEN is obviously just an outstation, DL's operation at SEA has only 5% of their routes not in the bottom 40% of all DL routes from an adjusted RASM perspective.

Not a complete shock to me given the competition with WN/AS, but more so surprising that DL is doing that poorly there. There's speculation on some blogs that DL is going to hold out to ensure they maintain their gate space, but that seems very counterproductive if it isn't financially sustainable in the first place.

Thoughts?
