The A319 went from 16F to 12F long before domestic EC was announced.

To be fair, they never claimed that there would be no reduction of F seats with the Economy Comfort rollout. It was clarified within a few days that the A320 would be reduced from 16 to 12. Deceptive indeed, but not a lie.

Still better than UA for this. UA's A320s always have only 3 rows of F, and the A319s have only 2 rows of F! :eek:

No, the 319s were converted to only 12 FC shortly after the merger, not for the EC seats.

The 320s are being done now, as EC is put in.

+1 They were converted to match the 737-700 in F space.

They did add F seats to the MD-88, MD-90 and 767-300. In addition they added seats to the E170s and of course made all CRJ-700s 2 class.

When you compare similar AC across all the domestic legacies, Delta comes in at or ahead of the competition in terms of number of F seats.

Not the 737-700s. I think they only have 12F seats.

True, but 16 is more than 12. Its all relative.:)

Ahh, yes, you're right. I'm used to flying on the older 738s.

Right, in order to match DL's latest "keep climbing" campaign, which to most people seem more like "keep descending." :rolleyes:
I always try to have a firm grip on an air sickness bag each time Richard A comes on the screen for the intro to tell us how much he love us! :o
