Delta is matching planes to routes
The relative snippets:
"The biggest airplane in Northwest Airlines' fleet -- a Boeing 747-400 -- will be the first aircraft to be painted in the red-white-and-blue color scheme of Delta Air Lines"
"The first 747 will get its makeover in Victorville, Calif., and reenter service Dec. 12, Anthony Black, a Delta spokesman, said Friday. Northwest's entire fleet is set to be repainted in Delta's color scheme within two years."
That's great news. With a few exceptions, Delta has always had the most beautiful paint jobs in my opinion. The whales will be a gigantic Delta billboard in Asia, and that is very smart to get that going right away.
New seats in Business Class is a must. Our current seats are fairly new and they are terrible in the most important aspect: they're as hard as a park bench!
