Delta internal Comm
 

Just curious, why does Delta use a picture of an E-170/190 in most of internal company communication? I'm just looking at the cover of the "Rules of the Road". I noticed the same picture on the walls in airports around the system.

Is management a little out of touch here or just clueless? Embraer's represent job outsourcing to most Delta employees so I think it's a little odd.

They are probably just thankful for there regional partners.

Nope. 744 more often than not. It's the clueless press that uses pictures of RJ's in articles about DAL

Astro,

I looked at what you are talking about and it would look to me that he picture is a 737-800. I spent way to much time this morning looking at different pictures and angles but the doesn't have the knob on the belly near the tail or the landing lights where they are in the picture. the 737 does.

DALMD88,

You are correct sir. My apologizes to Delta and anyone who wasted time comparing the two...that is in fact a 737. Got up pretty early today, maybe I should have held off my post until I'd had my first cup of coffee (crankenstein).

For comparison I found a pretty cool shot of the underside of a 737-800 taken by someone standing on the beach in St. Maarten (under the approach path of the airport).

Its because the ERJ-175 is the future of Delta. And mainline everywhere. Except not at mainline.

I didn't realize the press put up those advertisements with E175s on the billboards around Atlanta.

I believe he said articles, & not billboards.

I have seen them inside of jetways...can't remember where though.

No, I'm not denying they exist. :) I was simply stating that Fly4hire said the media is who messes up and puts pics of the E175 in articles when covering a story about mainline.

The adds do exist, and their purpose is to promote 2 class configuration RJs. I too have seen them jetways.

What he said. The ads in the jetways are bragging about first class in RJs.

But it is comical that every time ATL local news does a story about Delta, they show footage at Hartsfield of a CRJ landing or taxiing by. I promise you those reporters would know it's an RJ if they ended up in the back of one on a 3 hour flight.

That's the problem, they do fly on Delta, and when you fly Delta you more then likely will fly on n RJ.

Nope.

You most likely won't fly on an RJ or a code share partner or any other of the conventional "wisdom" that's out there.

But it sounds good on an anonymous webboard.

RJ's are definitely feeding more cities domestically, the loads are smaller, but you have a good chance of being on an RJ and thinking you are on DELTA, but you are not. That is why people get so frustrated thinking they are on DELTA, but the service isn't and can't be the same, so it is a joke. That was a little outburst on my part, but you are going to see an RJ flying domestically.
