surprise to see LAX-SEA are all big air planes now

I remember when DL just start LAX to SEA flight as a shuttle flight were all on regional jets, free beer and wine. Then they upgrade to some B717 mix with regional jets. I just flew couple times this month, are all on B737-800 or B737-900, no more regional jets/B717, all upgraded. all flights were completely full ( at least my experience). I was surprised that this route works so well for DL even though Alaska used to be dominated in this route, plus AA just add nonstop flight last year( regional jet though).

Good job DL

Before DL made it a DL Shuttle route, there was almost always a few 757s running that route as well as 738s and E175s. Once DL called it the DL Shuttle there were no more 757s and it was mainly E175 and 717s with an occasional 738. Now it seems like it is all 717/738.

AS has 14 flights per day between the two.
not sure they have cut any.

AA announced LAX-SEA last January but had already cut capacity.
