I think that's what I meant when I said...
Those slogans are going to make a great impression on corporate travel managers when you explain to them that you have no, nada, zero and zots business class seats to sell at any price.
... and ...

Their advertising is claiming a superior experience to CO's, but when it comes to selling that to premium-fare buyers, DL can't back it up.
... but I'll take this opportunity to say once again, DL's advertising (the subject at hand), which focuses on the diameter of the aircraft, is a lame distraction from the serious problem of not having a business class product.

THey deliberately placed the all-Y service on routes that do not have a significant amount of premium demand (especially in the summer) such as Ireland (AA does the same with 757s between BOS and SNN). Also, as mentioned, the all-Y flights in the ATL-LGW and ATL-FCO markets are supplements to regular flights featuring a Business Class product in those markets (e.g., ATL-LGW has two other dailies operated by 2-class 763ER and 777s; ATL-FCO has another daily 2-class 763ER as well)
