Somebody with paint please create a concept- FTB?
I think the comments RE the 777 not making (enough) money were in reference to the /BE/Y mix of seats. DL is planning to pull out some BE seats and FC seats on domestic planes and replace them with coach, since they are not filling all the FC seats on most flights, save for 'free' upgrades. The 777 was specifically mentioned in this initiative. Sucks for non revving!!!
While sort of on the subject of seats I'd be curious to get some opinions regarding Delta Business class compared to American and United's latest offerings. It seems our seats are a bit short for anyone over 6 foot when laid flat. Anyone have experience with this? Opinion on our entertainment system offering/reliability, food, seat/controller/tray table layout as well as privacy in the middle seats?
I know, I should probably be asking this on airliners.net but thought I'd get opinions here. I like to know how our product stacks up. The quality of the seats up front will likely drive the hyper competitive business travelors in the coming years as AA and UA get back on their feet post merger.
AA seems to have a pretty good setup and good food.

As things heat up among the last 3 remaining Legacies how do we stack up? Would be good to get pilot reports from guys who have ridden on all of them up front.
