Yes. Absolutely. Delta has always tried to position itself as the premier choice regardless of what it cost them because they know their passengers will pay a premium for it. Being the premier choice in social distancing is the next logical step for their customer base that demands a little bit higher level of service. I think at this point Delta realizes there are a finite amount of customers and anything you can do to keep them on your aircraft is better than nothing
