Any pics?
Delta's press release has two pictures. It's essentially the Air Canada lie-flat seat in Delta colors. http://media.delta.com/article_displ...ticle_id=10405

Here's hoping CO doesn't go for a simple derivative and instead finds a partner with a really innovative design. BTW, general estimates are that DL is losing 5-7 seats from it's J cabin on the 777's with these new seats. That's got to make CO uncomfortable just thinking about it. Less of an impact on the 767's because CO already goes for a generous 2-1-2.
