Not that it's a huge thing, but some users were wondering if and when Delta would bump the MTOW on the B777s up from 648,000 lbs to 656,000 lbs. Effective 9/13/06, all eight aircraft are certified for the higher weight in preparation for the nonstop India services beginning in November.
It's a new day. Every moment matters. Now, more than ever.

it is necessary for JFKBOM but will increase capabilities on all 777 routes which will increasingly be to/from Asia.

Quoting Evan767 (Reply 5): Will this mean no weight restrictions on JFK-BOM?
No, just less restrictions. Going JFK-BOM, it's probably not that much of an issue thanks to the prevailing tail winds, whereas for BOM-JFK, the increase is more than welcome.
