Looks like DL will have 4 767-400s with the new D1 seats on property by the 14th of this month (1804, 1807, 1809 and 1810) but the first one isn't "scheduled" for service till Nov 12 (ATL-LHR I believe). Any word on where these 4 birds will be flying in the meantime?

Jump to postWell one that really stood out there was the 747-800. Granted it was YEARS ago, but considering DLs failed experiment with the 747 years ago do you think they'd go back that direction. What routes would that be used on? The 787s seem a good bet though.
