With that said, Delta is planning to explore using more of the Delta network up and down the West Coast this summer. In fact, this week we announced LAX – Spokane service using a regional jet to serve the route. And we’ll begin SEA-Anchorage service soon with mainline jets. Look for more announcements about increased seasonal service on the West Coast in the coming weeks."
