4:50 you forgot to mute the audio of the plane. Great video for the rest, keep it up!

[@codyslade5558]

It will be so nice when the a350-1000 joins Delta’s fleet. Delta was the first airline that I can remember as a young child flying with. In those days it was the DC-8 (series unknown) that flew us to Atlanta where we boarded a 727-200 to take us to our next destination. Delta is my favorite US airline. Thanks for the video. Remember “ FLY DELTA JETS” (as the enormous sign in Atlanta says).

[@ajs11201]

I fly Delta exclusively, and my experience has always been top-notch. Their planes are old, but well maintained and the interiors are reasonably updated. I have to say that those older Boeings consistently deliver a wonderfully smooth flight. I often chuckle to myself when the pilot comes over the PA to announce turbulence, and after the fact we realize that we felt absolutely nothing thanks to those solid Boeing jets. And add to that the fact that all Delta personnel are downright cordial in the delivery of their services makes me want to return to Delta again and again. The only thing that I offer up for improvement is the quality of their onboard food. However, my reason for flying isn't to get a five-star meal, so I'll still accept mediocre food as long as the rest of the experience remains excellent.

[@ferjvm]

My only complaint is the trans-continental (JFK-SFO, JFK-LAX) using the 767. The IFE system is too outdated and the cabin is very noisy.

[@djijspeakerguy4628]

@@ferjvmAs of 2024, the only aircraft that still have the older, smaller screens from the mid to late 2000s are a small fraction of their 757 fleet and about half of their 737-800s. Both fleet types have refurbishments in the plans to start some time this year. There are a few different types of screens throughout their fleet. The oldest have white borders around the screens, and you need to press hard on the touch screen for them to respond. These feature an AUX jack at the tip of the arm rest on your seat. They’re still on very few 757-200 and about half of the 737-800 type aircraft for a limited time. The newer mid-2010s screens are larger, have black borders, and the AUX jack has moved to the bottom left corner of the screen, where a USB port was also added. Both ports are notably angled downward on this design. They are the most common by far, featured on all 767s, most 757s, all 737-900s, half of 737-800s, and all non-NEO A320s and A330s. Then there are the newest ones, which are slightly larger and feature a more advanced flight tracker software, and the AUX and USB ports have moved to the bottom center of the screen and point straight out. These are featured on every A321 and a330 with the NEO (or N) model name, as well as the A220 and A350. I might be missing a few things as well, but this is generally what you’ll find on the Delta fleet in 2024.

[@ivanviera4773]

Some of their 757's and 767's are over 30 years old. Its going to interesting what ultra long routes their A350-1000 will fly.

[@KennyNash-sb9sh]

757 is the workhorse of the fleet! Boeing has fkd up way too much & let Airbus take the lead.

[@PierceHaviland]

I recently flew the old 767-300 ER from JFK to PRG and the plane was ready for retirement. The Delta One seat had no suite and only a tiny 10” screen for movies that had a very limited selection. Delta will need to replace those antiques to retain customers.

[@flysmitty7035]

Interior can be changed, has nothing to do with the plane itself

[@byronpost809]

I've been a fan of Delta since I was a kid. When I lived on the east coast, that's the main airline that I would fly on. I know that the 757 is an old jet, but I still love that plane. I'm going to miss it when it's finally retired. I'm looking forward to seeing the Delta A350-1000. 😊

[@Patrickair4444]

1:11 buy more airbus a350s or a330neos

[@stickynorth]

The A220's are going to become the workhorse of the domestic fleet of not only Delta but an increasing number of airlines who would normally lock into the Boeing MAX program but can't/won't for the obvious reasons discussed to death, pun intended... Can't wait for the 500 model to be introduced to further eat away at the MAX market share... I'm still amazed at any airliner that has the opportunity to fly from London City Airport to DXB or JFK non-stop using the tiny almost STOL-like runway that it offers. That capability really does open up the world to many many more destinations with service features like that!

[@theplatinumtakeoff6215]

I hate the A220. It should never be used for flights longer than 2 hours.

[@TonyLee-th1vv]

@@theplatinumtakeoff6215 Even worst is 737 family should never used for passengers travel.

[@tonyferdaise5292]

DL has lots of issues 1. No pre-order meals on the A321NEO 2. Aging aircraft that will keep costing money to keep flying. 3. The A350’s flying to and from So Africa are weight restricted on the return flights 4. Inflight catering out of Canada and the Caribbean needs to be upgraded, the sad box meals needs to stop Lastly the slow down of inflight service in main cabin, in the last 4 flights out of MSP the captain made the following announcement at the gate when the doir closes “i have instructed the FA’s to remain seated for the first 30 minutes as there is reports of rough air” however, zero rough air and the FA’s have remained seated for an hour. This is a trend among other airlines too.

[@jdm1039]

@tonyferdaise5292 - I have flown sporadically between Laguardia and an upstate NY airport. Scheduled for roughly an hour and in reality takes 45 minutes or so. They make that same announcement every time, for the duration of the flight, so zero service. Has never been any turbulence. Completely smooth. Not a leap to assume they are being dishonest.

[@davebadibalaki8366]

@@jdm1039i don’t think they are being dishonest. Put yourself into their shoes. An hour flight is not enough time to serve every single person on the aircraft before the start their initial descent into the city they are flying to. Only the people upfront will get served while the back not. Tell me how fair will that be especially when you have to serve every single person a drink and a snack.

[@jdm1039]

@davebadibalaki8366 Just say there will be no service due to the length of the flight instead of claiming a non existent weather issue.

[@tonyferdaise5292]

@@davebadibalaki8366 there are risks in all industries. But to say there is rough air and there is none, that is wrong

[@tonyferdaise5292]

I can’t wait for Delta to take delivery of the A350-1000

[@michaelosgood9876]

Incredible turnaround of loyalty towards Aiŕbus as prior to the Northwest merger, Delta wouldnt look at Airbus as a fleet option. This, in itself, speaks volumes...

[@747forever9]

Thanks for this one Dj!!

[@TonyLee-th1vv]

I bet Delta will dominate US market soon in future with major market share.

[@JasonWoolridge]

Delta still needs the 787 Dreamliner in they're fleet because that along with the Airbus A350 1000 would no doubt shape they're future for long haul flight. Delta is moving in the right direction adding the Airbus A220 in fleet and it's more the proper aircraft for short and medium haul flight and certainly the future of it. Keep climbing Delta 🔺✈️

[@rupetto1959]

A321 is the game changer... ok for domestic flights and international one.. good for travelers.. cheap to flight and use same cockpit as 320

[@christopherjared1277]

... Delta and the other major carriers in North America are focused on North America. "Global" business, in terms of % of volume is not high. I think Air Canada has the highest, but even Air Canada is focused on Canada & America for most of its volume. ... The future of Delta is therefore domestic. Yes, wonderful, they are ordering A350s. Yes, wonderful, they are considering more flights to Australia. But where is the money, honey?... Given the above, the most important fleet change is 145 x A220. Because these planes are very efficient, Delta will be able to compete domestically against LCC carriers. The A220s come with an amazing 2x2 business class up front, thus even for small markets, Delta can attract premium PAXs and make money.

[@christodang]

Yeah makes sense, the US air domestic market is the largest in the world (alongside China) but unlike a China, the US doesn’t have high speed rail so everyone who isn’t keen to drive over 6h is flying.

[@hungo7720]

This fleet expansion greatly complements the extensive network of Delta airlines which unequivocally consolidates its throne as the carrier with most jets .

[@meddyven]

Delta needs to stop flying some of their A 330's which have lost cargo door metal. They fly them without replacing the door metal, which could seriously lead to explosive decompression, in the fuselage.

[@dknowles60]

a 757 can go places where a A321xlr a 737 Max cant go

[@jakeschroeder1553]

Can we please talk about how old United 767s are getting?

[@FraserWest-um4ue]

I agree delta airlines old Boeing planes look tidy inside and outside and they are well maintained and looked after and I don’t see them getting rid off the 767-300ER or the 767-400ER or the 757S because they all have a big use in delta airlines network even if it’s flights across America or into Europe or the uk anything like that they use the 767S for almost all of those flights and I don’t see that changing for a long time

[@michaelnash2972]

Delta currently doesn’t have any plans to get rid of the 767-400ER but is supposed to be retiring the 300ER by 2035. I’d like to see what Delta does to replace the 300ER’s as they are dated. The 400ER’s were recently updated.

[@FraserWest-um4ue]

Yes in fact delta airlines is upgrading inside of the 767-300 with the same new interior that the 767-400 has already and I would be very interested to see what delta airlines does replace the 300ER because I don’t what they will replace with unless Boeing upgrades the 767 with new engines and technology which they are thinking of doing anyway so delta airlines might wait and see what happens with that one before ordering any new aircraft

[@carlose4914]

Anyone think Delta might purchase shares of WestJet when they go up for sale? 👀

[@grriceman782]

Ed is a smart guy … I believe he’ll make the right fleet move and end up canceling the order for the MAX.

[@kylecampbell1444]

Hes already said they won't. Boeing wont neet the dead line so Boeing will owe them a bunch money or discounts on the aircraft per the contract. . Plus the -10 is part of the replacement plan for the 757s. So they cant just walk away without hurting themselves.

[@michaelnash2972]

@@kylecampbell1444 In addition to what you said, Delta also wants to be the launch customer for Boeing’s NMA whenever Boeing decides to do it. Canceling the Max 10 order will hurt Delta’s chances of making that happen.

[@wotan10950]

I always get a good chuckle when people say they fly Delta exclusively. First, they probably fly once or twice a year. Second, I’ve been f’d over by Delta just as many times as I have on American and many of the other U.S. and European airlines. And that’s after 368 flights (yes, I keep a list).

[@richsimon7838]

I agree. The vast majority of people picking a major carrier fly what ever carrier is going where they want to go, when the want to go, and who has the best price. You may fly one carrier more than others, but that is solely based on whose hub you fly out of. There is little loyalty by the causal flyer to any airline, they are all the same on domestic flights.

[@dknowles60]

You Know that Delta got a lot of good A&P people from north west, North west was the Best at keeping old Planes new Delta's Problem is all the Good A&P people are Retiring

[@ajs11201]

Northwest was definitely NOT the jewel airline, and when Delta bought them, those of us who lived in Northwest's hubs celebrated for the demise and removal of Northwest from our universe. The quality of service and overall experience in those Northwest markets has only grown and grown since Delta's takeover.
