IIRC there isn't an AS Boardroom close to the A gates either.

Right, the AS Boardroom is located at the C/D concourse which is well out of the way of the A concourse as well.

But at some point in time it won't matter, as AS will cut off Board Room access during the divorce.

Not sure either maybe they want to be in the nice part of A when the expansion part is complete and put a Sky Club there? I got this info from a DL employee on another site. It would probably make more sense for the international carries BA, OZ, KE, EK etc to move over to the expanded part of A with the FIS area and have DL be the primary tenant of S while using A & B for overflow.

Yes, but aren't the AS lounges in PP?

That is correct. All AS Boardrooms are accessible through PP.

While DTW could be seen as a response to DL, MSY and TPA are both cities that not only Delta, but Southwest, are strong in, but regardless, I doubt DL is losing much sleep over their service to MSY and TPA or even once a day service SEA-DTW.

DL should get rid of the hubs in SLC and DTW. SEA replaces SLC, and MSP is close enough and has more O/D traffic than DTW.

SLC is actually pretty darn far away from SEA. And SEA is a pretty lousy domestic hub location.

I also don't think that DTW need be shuttered, given the significant amount of traffic to be connected over the region, and given that it is better located than MSP to much of the traffic. MSP is kind of out on its own.

DL has inherited such nice facilities at DTW that it would be a shame to see this hub abandoned.
