Well, no onward connection at LAX for DCA nonstop, unless DL changes the timing to where the aircraft leaves later, thus departs DCA later. But this is as close to maximising connections at LAX as DL can get. Maybe a few schedule changes here and there to accommodate this. Also, regarding cargo, no surprise. The A359 has superior cargo capabilities over the 789. As said earlier, if this route doesn't flop within a year or two from its launch date next June, fully expect it to be a A35K route not just for the additional 16D1/16PS tickets to be sold compared to the A359 but the additional cargo capacity and capability of the A35K to fly LAX-HKG.
