Yes. I check the fares frequently because I fly to AMS all the time and they seem to be consistently... high. That's not really a tangible measurement but they're higher than many fares I've seen for other secondary cities with service to Europe.

I used this flight westbound in August, and it was full (in J).
Immigration at SLC was a breeze and avoided all that queuing/baggage retrieval at ATL or JFK.
When I booked the flight, it was timed at 1250 ex AMS, but has been retimed to leave at 1705.
I would have preferred the earlier flight time (DL goes at 1000).
After many years of changing en route, it was great to fly into my favourite US city directly.
