Airline Pilot Central Forums - Any "Latest & Greatest" about Delta?

What is the tail number of the 767-ER with the new interior, is it flying yet, and what route has it been flying. Seems to me most of the bunk ERs are out in Seattle doing Asia, but that is purely speculation.

I don't know about the others but I just flew 1612 and it has the new interior. Looks great! Unfortunately I did not get to try the new crew rest facility as we were a 2 pilot crew but it looks, hands down, better than anything we have had before. Regarding the lay flat seats in business elite, I have to agree that, if full lay flat mode, anyone over 6' is going to find the slot for your feet kind of small.

Will you please repost it???? I've looked and looked but can't find it.

Here's what I think you mean. Enjoy.

There is a malaise on APC. The regulars are less regular. We all love some underboob and aviation. You've probably seen it, but the frogs make some good flying videos. I actually like the song too:

Hey Scambo, "we're working hard for the money, so hard for the money..." A lot less time to be quippy on APC when you're in the air.;)

FYI....In SEA on a SUNDAY, the LEC rep (FO) was in the pilot lounge to speak with pilots about doing the survey. Overheard him talking to pilots. Said he will be in the SEA lounge for the next 7 days. Was just shocked to see an ALPA person on a weekend.

There's an email circulating about the lost survivorship benefits if you want to get back to the contract/survey topic.

Impressive. Also ask questions of him. He will probably propose more questions to you so that you can give valuable input to your reps.

Disagree, did a trip last year MSP-LHR with the lie flat and arrived rested and ready to explore London with the family. The kids however, spent the entire time on the 15" personal entertainment system and were more than an bit tired!

Anyway, since I'm under 6' it might not be as good for those of you like FTB who are taller. YMMV.
