I've never been to SEA - any thoughts? DL of course says this is a legal connection and meets their minimum time for SEA. This is more of a leisure flight, so it's not the end of the world if I miss and arrive a day late, but I'd still be pretty bummed out about it.
Unless get a Porsche ride, (Plus on time at gate) I say no.
Are you on paid D1 or upgrade? I would check your JFK-SEA flight. As soon as shows delay I would ask for reroute. If upgrade using GUC, you'll need to stick to DL metal. If paid (including paid upgrade offers) you'll have more flexibility including KE/MU/CI/ and worst case AF/KL.
