The SEA Hubbing Continues: New SEA-SFO, Addl LAX-SEA
Looks like Delta is playing hardball in SEA. Also interesting to note that with this addition, the continental US feed into the Narita hub is almost fully replicated in SEA.
1. New SEA-SFO (6x daily eff Mar 28, 7x daily eff Jun 05) on CP E175:
5781 SEASFO 0630-0840
5805 SEASFO 0855-1105*
5734 SEASFO 1000-1210
5736 SEASFO 1200-1410
5738 SEASFO 1515-1725
5742 SEASFO 1730-1940

I was expecting SEA-SFO after the LAS increases, but 6 (then going to 7) daily?!?! Now that is bold. Very bold.
Also, yes, I believe Portland is now the only city to have a DL NRT flight but not a SEA one. Makes you wonder if SEA-PDX is next ... and what AS thinks of all this.
Also also, with all these E75 flights on the west coast now, might we see a CP base open in either SEA or LAX?

A next possible domestic gateway for DL would be SJC. It appears that DL will have more international destinations from SEA. My 2Cents

I believe SEA-LAS will be flown by Delta Connection operated by SkyWest.

As a side note, it looks like SLC-SFO is also receiving E175 flying as well.

I hope Delta isn't purposely trying to pick a fight with AS. The partnership with Alaska is one of the few remaining good things. We see what happened with Korean (arguably the best airline in the Skyteam alliance).

While I'm not surprised to see SEA-SFO added, one really has to wonder if DL is planning to serve every popular AS route out of SEA. If they are, I wouldn't be surprised if we see a DL-operated SEA-ORD.
Having the new routes served by E175s is a good decision, though it makes one wonder what AS's response will be. Maybe AS will codeshare on the new routes out of SEA and place the 737s currently flying the routes elsewhere. If something like that was to happen, one wonders how long AS would maintain a Boardroom (lounge) in SFO.

I'm on the other end of this thought process. I believe that with DL's presence in the SEA area expanding that AS has asked DL to do filler flights so AS can utilize their aircraft more effectively. Perhaps new cities or additional frequencies especially with the SAN "hub" for AS is prompting AS to rearrange their aircraft and utilize a rock solid codeshare with DL to fill the gaps.
