Wow, seems like quite a bit of work to accommodate one daily flight. I know DL will probably get their use out of it as well, but seems like a lot of moving things around for a somewhat temporary fix.

Delta picking a fight at MSP is a fine example of why Aer Lingus probably haven't jumped on Manchester - Boston like they've been planning !

MSP will see a mix of A339 & A359 on the MSP-ICN this summer. For example, a few random test bookings in August show equipment as A359. Also, some of the MSP-CDG flights will be A339.
Why would AF *wait* and continue selling flights on a route that they KNOW DL is going to be "taking over." AF is still selling flights for the whole summer. I am on a MSP-CDG routing this summer and I am still on AF metal. I will believe this when I see it. Annnnnnd it's gone. Depressing...
