What (nonstop) route do you wish Delta would really have?

AMS basically doesn't have slots available at the moment. It's more likely to see a route to one of their other TATL JV partner hubs.

BOS-MSY would be nice Fri/Sat/Sun/Mon. Currently they have a non stop for very limited seasonal flights like new years and mardi gras time, but nothing else.
Oh and I think I mentioned it before, but something-SIN on DL metal... but they just killed NRT-SIN and forcing pax onto KE metal through ICN so doubt we'll see a US-SIN.

Daily service with at least one other hub to/from RNO. I end up flying to a lot of mid size and smaller airports in the mid-west and east coast, so a lot of my flights end up being RNO-SLC-ATL/MSP/DTW-XXX. I would love to be able to cut out the SLC stop more often. UA and AA both offer multiple daily flights to multiple hubs, AS serves SEA and PDX, and WN to a least 5 different airports daily.
All kidding aside, while playing around on ExpertFlyer and Google Flights this morning, I noticed DL will be slowly ramping up RNO-ATL service starting with the holiday week. Previously this route was flown a few days around Christmas/New Years and then weekends through Jan/Feb with the eastbound on Sat and the return on Sun. Now, I'm seeing the same holiday then weekend deal in Dec/Jan, followed by 4x weekly (M,W,F,Sa) starting mid February through April, then daily starting in May through end of schedule.
I really hope this route sticks because it really makes DL a much more viable option out of RNO. Interestingly, it shows as being operated by a 757 the whole time, while the nearby SMF-ATL route runs with a 738 or 739. I can on guess that this has to do RNOs elevation and needing hot and high capability.

ORD to literally any non-hub or focus city. Heck, I'd even consider going to MDW (I live far closer to ORD).
AA has failed me one too many times, and I refuse to fly WN or UA (UA because UA and WN because lack of overseas travel rewards are a dealbreaker). All my recent DL experiences have been great, but having to connect to get almost anywhere is...not ideal...

PDX <—> BOS
Portland (PDX) to Boston (BOS). There’s no competition on the route. PDX is consistently rated the TOP airport in the USA and Delta is making BOS a major focus. The ONLY airline flying direct between the two cities is Alaska. Hello DELTA???
