recline that much. The cabin feels very claustrophobic for a long flight.
A couple of weeks ago I flew Swiss LAX-ZRH-LAX in their C cabin.
When I took a seat I started laughing remembering my 757 flight!
It's a big Airbus with tons of space and great seats. Feels great,
great service and food. Night and day comparing to Delta.
Not sure what their plan is, but for sure it's not working.
Don't give a damn about Delta miles anymore, if my choice is a cramped
small, old plane with so-so service, I will never take those...
We must all understand that with fuel prices being where they are today, often the only way to justify flying a route non-stop is to "right size" it. If the route mentioned was only to be flown with a 76X+ sized aircraft, it would not be profitable. Would you prefer the ability to travel in BE on a 757 non stop for a short TATL hop, or would you want to stop in CDG just to fly in a Wide Body? As far as im concerened, put me in the 757 and keep the stop.
Some of you act as though they are sending the 757 from ATL to ICN. Geeze...
