When DBMS makes the reservation it is not for a single pilot. It should populate for two bodies. If your Capt or FO has added themselves to the PNR in Travelnet then you may run in to a issue with it not finding your reservation under your name. What you can do to rectify this before going to the gate is this:
1) Go to Travelnet and add your name. When you take that PNR Delta.com will now recognize your name as attached to the reservation

or,
2) Use their last name with the PNR and find the reservation. When you do there should be two seats assigned to that PNR and you "may" be able to add yourself this way.

In my experience the best way to fix this is to go to travenet and add your name to the PNR. It then associates you with the reservation. Just make sure you are moving the correct seat when you are on Delta.com. You boss may not be too happy if you move him to a middle seat. :D This has worked for me every time.

SEATTLE, July 23, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- In anticipation of receiving antitrust immunity later this year for its joint venture with Virgin Atlantic Airways, Delta Air Lines (DAL) will offer new daily nonstop service from Seattle-Tacoma International Airport to London Heathrow Airport beginning March 29, 2014. Tickets will be available for purchase July 27.

New service from Seattle to London Heathrow gives Delta's customers nonstop access to one of the world's top business markets and is an important enhancement to Delta's growing trans-Atlantic and trans-Pacific network from Seattle. As of Jan. 1, 2014, every international Delta flight from Seattle, including the new London service, will feature full flat-bed seats in BusinessElite, Economy Comfort seating and in-flight entertainment in every seat throughout the aircraft.
"Our international expansion in Seattle is possible because of our partnerships with Alaska Airlines, Virgin Atlantic and Air France-KLM," said Glen Hauenstein, Delta executive vice president - Marketing, Network Planning and Revenue Management. "Together the airlines can provide customers in the Pacific Northwest with an unmatched global network and an industry-leading customer experience on the ground and in the air."
Seattle is one of Delta's fastest-growing international gateways. In June, Delta added service to Shanghai and Tokyo-Haneda, complementing long-established service to Tokyo-Narita. Delta also has served Beijing and Osaka, Japan from Seattle since 2010.
Through its trans-Atlantic joint venture with Air France-KLM and Alitalia, Delta also offers Seattle area travelers nonstop service to Paris and Amsterdam while also providing connecting service to more than 150 additional destinations beyond those European hubs. With new service to London-Heathrow, Delta will operate flights to eight nonstop international destinations from Seattle.
The strategic alliance between Delta and Alaska benefits customers of both carriers and gives Pacific Northwest travelers an extensive array of domestic and international travel choices.
In December 2012, Delta and Virgin Atlantic announced Delta's plans to acquire 49 percent of Virgin Atlantic. The carriers intend to form a trans-Atlantic joint venture to optimize schedules and services between the North America and the U.K. Delta last month obtained unconditional clearance from the European Commission and the U.S. Department of Justice to proceed with the investment transaction. Now both carriers are awaiting U.S. Department of Transportation approval of antitrust immunity to implement their joint venture.
On July 3, Delta and Virgin Atlantic launched reciprocal codesharing across 108 routes to 66 destinations throughout North America and the U.K. With the new Seattle service, Delta will operate 10 daily nonstop flights to London Heathrow from six destinations including Detroit, Minneapolis, New York-JFK, Boston and Atlanta.
Delta will operate Seattle-London Heathrow service using a 210-seat Boeing 767-300ER aircraft featuring 35 full flat-bed seats in BusinessElite, 32 seats in Economy Comfort and 143 Economy class seats.

Seems as though we will be doing that flying, unless I misread something. Anyone know the if where they will be pulling aircraft from, or is it too early. Seems as though that's a lot of lift without reshuffling aircraft and routes. Seems encouraging for a wide body announcement in the near future. Here's to hoping.

It stands to reason, if we start overflying Japan we are going to need metal and pilots to fly more block hours. Taken at face value, Alaska airlines provides the feed for a continuing build of Seattle's long haul flying.
