For this exact reason the 76L on United exists filled with Polaris and PE seats, slim on the economy seats. You make in the front of the cabin on that route specifically. For such a “premium” airline, DL really lags behind in aircraft with larger premium cabins. I really wish they invest in more J/...

Jump to postThe 77W was delayed nearly 1.5yrs from its initial launch target; and the 77L purposefully delayed an addition 3yrs on top of that, seeing as it only had one customer for the majority of that time (who funnily enough, never took delivery of it).
