That post brought back memories of flying Delta as a kid during the mid 1970's. They had DC-9-10 service from Indy to Memphis, complete with "hot snack" service (that MEM hub hasn't changed much!) They used small stickers that would affix to boarding passes to assign seats. I can still remember the orange/yellow/red seats on the DC-9. And a smoking section inside the aircraft. The fumes did wonders for my childhood asthma! The new livery is OK, seems like they are trying to go a little 'retro' to capture some of the spirit of the good ol' days. Now.. if they could only replace those tacky, royal blue pleather seats they recently installed a couple years ago. Wow.

I actually really liked all three of the previous designs, just not this newest one. Yuck! Nevertheless, I do agree that this whole redesigning ordeal is meant to shift focus away from serious problems with the airline. What is with all the color changes?
