DL 1578 SEA 0700 - 0950 LAX 739
DL 1974 SEA 0815 - 1105 LAX 73H
DL 1556 SEA 1110 - 1400 LAX 73H
DL 848 SEA 1300 - 1550 LAX 739
DL 2048 SEA 1430 - 1720 LAX 73H
DL 2398 SEA 1615 - 1855 LAX 752
DL 2199 SEA 1830 - 2115 LAX 73H
DL 5786 SEA 2030 - 2315 LAX E75
On a separated note, the 7 daily SEA - ATL will operated by the new 739s this summer.
I would imagine this would put a little more pressure on opening a SEA base since the only way to route DL flying out of SEA from the LAX crew base would be through SFO and SAN. Especially since we'll be starting 5x daily SEA - DEN this summer. We could also get crews up to SEA through YVR, BZN, SJC, SMF, PHX, PDX, TUS, and LAS...but our flights from SEA to those stations are infrequent and irregular. But, as others have stated before: within the DCI system, the only constant is change. Time will tell...
Also have to agree with whoever said it before that this is fantastic news that the west coast flying is being shifted to mainline! Hopefully the trend continues
