Now PIT-CDG makes a little more sense to me. They don't have any other competition on the route, and it was ripe for the picking. The EWR-CDG route would make more sense if AF were operating it on their own metal.

I was trying to find JFK-YVR, but couldn't see it; what months/times is it operating?

Can someone explain EWR-CDG to me? I just don't get the logic behind it. They'd be competing with COUA on this route in its own back yard, feeding AF traffic at CDG, and the only originating traffic would be from DL's own hubs.

It's not like DL has a big operation at EWR. It's modest service at best because most of the traffic in that region goes through JFK or LGA.

Delta and Air France have a joint venture across the Atlantic, meaning all revenues and expenses are split equally, no matter who does the flying. So, the partners decided using a DL 767-300 was the right size for this route, even if almost all of the passengers will be coming from Air France. Just as they decided Air France's A340 was the right size plane for the second MSP-CDG round trip this summer, a route that Delta has flown twice daily this past summer and (I think) the summer before.

It's all about optimizing seats for the market.
