Considering delta uses them for all of the regional flights I don't see them being phased out till they break down beyond repair.
You get a blanket?! I've never gotten a blanket 😔
American is phasing them out, I'd be surprised if Delta keeps them in that air for more than another year.
I've been on them quite a bit but don't recall them being that bad. What's wrong with them?
"The jetliner of the 1980s" (this was meant to sound futuristic)
Older than some of or colleagues, outdated avionics, acoustical insulation subpar (why everyone bought Bose headsets), funky bathroom smell since toilet bowls aren't vacuum based, no power on all seats, nonoptimized overhead bin space, crappy red delta blankets, rattling coat hanger space, the list would keep going if I weren't so tired
I would like for him to retire them too. But considering low margins airlines make, to even break even on the purchase of a 100 million dollar airplane probably take close to 15 years. So I understand deltas want to maximize the return on their investment.
They are in the process of it already
