It seems that I wasn't the only person complaining about certain items missing from the Delta package. A number of things coming down the pike are mentioned, but absent items are mentioned as well. Please comment and let me know if I've missed anything.
Things going right:
- 744s and 763ERs are getting AVOD in the back. Thank you. It's been a long time coming. This will put the entire international fleet with AVOD nose-to-tail.
- 764s / 763ERs / 744s / 772Es are getting true flat-bed seats. Thank you. See my note on A330s in the "wrong" section.
- Wifi is going really, really well. It appears that the entire pre-merger domestic DL fleet is complete (see the Delta Blog). It also appears that wifi is moving quickly through the pre-merger NWA fleet.
- CR7s - at least some of them - are getting an F cabin. Not that I really wanted that, but good.
- Pre-merger NWA aircraft are being remodeled quickly with leather seats.
- The LA Skyclub is getting remodeled, and IND, PHL, and SEA are getting new clubs.
- Delta.com for mobile devices is much, much better and very usable.
Things going wrong, or things undefined:
- Delta.com is still a little broken. Every time I buy a domestic ticket within 5 days of departure with the upgrade showing available, I get downgraded at the time of purchase and I need to call to get my upgrade back. Am I the only one this happens to?
- I have full faith in the wifi process - but in my humble opinion, if an aircraft gets an F cabin, it should get wifi as well (read: Regional Jets like CR7s, CR9s, and E170s). In addition, if DL continues to use international aircraft, like 763ERs, on domestic routes on a regular basis, these aircraft need wifi.
- Is the A330 getting a flat bed, or is it staying with the angled flat?
- With all the NWA remodeling, are these aircraft getting AVOD? I can't find any mention of A319s / A320s / 752s / 753s getting anything other than an internal facelift.
