More adds to SEA. This is getting interesting.

WorldSpan is showing Delta metal being added SEA-LAS and SEA-ANC. No idea if it's seasonal or year-round but this whole Seattle build up alongside unconfirmed reports that ATL is pissed at Alaska for the AA announcement -- makes this a story to keep watching.

starts June 10th
SEA-LAS
DL2431 2030-2252 738 D

LAS-SEA
DL2430 1730-1945 757 D

SEA-ANC
DL1579 2045-2330 757 D

ANC-SEA
DL0822 0030-500 757 D *starts June 11*

Wow! This is interestingly enough. I didn't see it. Give it some more tougher competition against other carriers.

Why they put 738 aircraft from SEA-LAS, but there is no 757-200 aircraft?

What's next? How about PHX, RNO, ABQ, SFO, OAK?

N830MH, looking at the times there is a logical reason

757 operates (HUB)-LAS-SEA-ANC-SEA-(HUB)
738 operates (HUB)-SEA-LAS-(HUB)

Is DL divorcing both AF/KLM and AS at the same time? VA must be some hot number.

They announced an expanded codeshare agreement a few weeks ago.

One of the top 5 destinations from BDL is SEA. Studies have shown that BDL-SEA would do well with a nonstop flight and more than likely have it fly full every day.

Interesting. It must have to do with United Technologies/Hamilton Sundstrand and Boeing.

SEA-ANC is 100% about oil.

Glad to see DL metal on these routes. Might actually get upgrades!

The DL-AS codeshare has been getting worse and worse. First AS offers SEA-MSP, then SEA-ATL, and SEA-SLC. Can't blame DL for getting back at them with SEA-ANC and SEA-LAS. Those aren't typical FF routes so it'll be nice for UG's on DL metal, but I'm not sure it makes business sense for DL.
