United has Starlink on 50 mainline planes. So, 1,050 planes no wifi. Oh, and they’ve not had any form of free wifi for 5+ years. Absolutely, nothing. Not even IFE on a lot of United planes because they started following AA’s lead years ago stripping out screens.
Pretending ViaSat doesn’t allow for streaming of videos, checking emails, and scrolling through social media 90% of the time problem free is a blatant lie. F2 and F3 will be online soon to have global coverage and greatly improve connectivity. Holding Delta over just fine until LEO is here. I use it all the time and complete drop outs are rare for “deltawifi.com” users.
LEO will not only have faster speeds, but it will further monetize passengers data, higher tiers of personalized customization via the IFE, connect crew devices/customer apps/IFE to the entire Delta IT infrastructure (DBMS will sunset around the same time LEO is fully equipped on the fleet 28-29’). Already, Delta has select flights where work offices such as reservations can directly communicate with pax via the IFE in flight.
Amazon is also a massive SEA-based corporate spender. Amazon also delivers the benefits of Amazon Game Studios, Amazon Prime, and Prime Video. Much more un-tapped potential than simply offering a product that can’t be integrated into DL Sync, further monetized, or tailored to the user. Technology has always been a game of leapfrog. I swear everyone here is a combination of short-tempered, short-sighted, and is only capable of hating managements every single decision. Delta has a rich history of selecting the “unpopular” route during industry advancements or downturns.. yet, they continue to emerge on top by a wide margin every single year without fail.

United has in seat entertainment on 700 of their 1050 mainline aircraft and is upgrading the rest rapidly. United mainline fleet with the exception of literally a handful of aircraft all have a legacy WiFi system similar to what Delta will use into 2028. 50 mainline aircraft and 300 of their regional aircraft now have Starlink. By the end of the year 500 mainline aircraft will have Starlink and the mainline will be fully equipped by the end of 2027.

You have no idea how many generations of Delta new hires before you have heard “the DBMS sunset is only a few years away”.
The AI robots that will be flying Delta planes in 75 years will still be clicking through 1990’s-era iCrew clip art images to enter their PCS requests, only to curse after they accidentally hit “OK” instead of “F12”.

The fastest way to gift Kirby more of our HVCs is to offer a ****** WiFi product (or none at all to Asia/Australia) for 4 more years while he rapidly deploys the best proven WiFi solution on the market.

LOL! Who is this guy Rip? Every time I see a post by this clap…they/them always has to bring up United and/or how great Delta is doing/choices made. This deep on the spectrum should have been picked up in the interview. No way it’s coming from a main line driver.

He's a post-covid miracle hire. Wasn't even alive for 9/11 but thinks he knows the industry.
