If Delta wants to help those customers get somewhere a WB can go, then they need to put them on a wide body.
Some of the people that I fly WILL NOT get on the airlines, even when flying between city pairs with nonstop airline service. If they have to charter for whatever reason, they don't have a boarding pass, and they don't arrange the trip through an airline's website or through an airline's reservation agent in Bangalore India. If you give these people the slightest hassle you'll never see them again, not even in the first class cabin on your jetliner. To start a scope fight with Delta Air Elite, Seagrave, Pegassus, or whoever won't accomplish anything. It's a totally different world that has nothing to do with airlines at all.
