How will DL respond to United's changes??

http://ir.unitedcontinentalholdings....567&highlight=

Thoughts anyone? DL has the WiFi already and 747 plans, but the flat-beds to SFO/LAX from JFK would be awesome! I love the ATC audio...wish DL would add it.

The ipod connectivity reminds me: Like two years ago, weren't we supposed to be getting that on new IFE on DL?

Is that what the USB ports are for (besides the charging)? I've never understood the Ethernet ports with the USB either... a pre-WiFi failed idea, maybe?

And then they will blame the new top tier and confiscate their miles

Sounds like UA is responding with the WiFi to catch up to Delta... however the flat bed on the transcon JFK-SFO route is definitely a one-up against Delta, probably maneuver to fight against Delta's inroads to that market that they made with their BE 757s and be able to command premium prices for those flights.
