I remember flying on these on transcons out of JFK with the larger seat pitch and it was fine back then.

I know the F seats are sub-par, but the coach bulkhead seats on the sides, when flying with a companion, are my very favorite seats. I will miss the a/c a lot. I really just enjoy flying a wider a/c and liked when these were common on longer domestic runs. I wish DL (or any US carrier) still had a sizable wide body domestic fleet. I know that this is not the trend for many reasons, but I really liked when you could fly nice big planes on routes like LAX-MSP, etc.

I agree with this 100%. FC wasn't great on these birds, but just flying on a wide body is so much more comfortable and spacious. I would take the domestic 763 any day over a cramped 739 on a transcon flight. Hopefully if DL gets the 797 in 5-7 years, they will do some domestic flights.
