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!

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.

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!
