Scott: Delta’s slowing installing the lie flat seats….and it’s especially slow on routes where they have no nonstop competition. So don’t hold your breath on a non Greyhound recliner by this summer between SLC and Paris.

Any idea of the scheduling for the SLC CDG planes? After flying in all three of these types of seats, the greyhound recliner has to go. By Mid June 2010 I hope!!!!!

I have a simple question if you are still losing money and are going to spend money on new seats why not use the money to get rid of bag charges and increase volume and become profitable again.

Check out what the Canadians have done with lie-flat seating. They actually have figured out a way to get the herringbone pattern on a 767.

It’s wonderful that DL is finally catching up, but have you seen what they’ve done to upgradeable fares? I wanted to book ATL-TLV-ATL and, with a 50 day advance, business was available for a tad over $4,100. An upgradeable M fare was about $3550. Now I ask you, who would spend 50,000 miles to save $550 (and maybe not even be assured of the upgrade)? Remember when you could upgrade from any fare? Or even when the upgradeable fares were 30-50% above discounted coach? The coach fare on this route for the dates I selected was just over $1400 so guess what? I’ll be cramped for 11 hours, but use the money I save for an upgraded hotel room.
