Lol, I don't think so!

It is true that DL likes old planes, but the MD-95 (everyone calls them the "Boeing 717," but I say POOH to that) is going to mostly replace the MD-88. The 100 or so 737-900ERs DL has on order are replacing the upper range of MD-88 capacity, along with older A320s and 757s.

Yep, United has had them for a while as well.

This is an awesome story to read as an avid gearhead and avgeek.

My bias for Delta stems from the fact that its far superior compared to the likes of United and American, the two other international US carriers. That's because I fly international routes. United doesn't have free booze on internationals. American has more cramped 10-abreast seating, while there's a good chance of…

Actually, airlines started treating passengers like cattle post-deregulation (look it up). That's what lowered economy fares to levels that the average consumer could afford. First and business fares stayed around the same. 9/11 lowered the standards of travel across the board..

I am curious to know what makes you think Delta's beverages are "overpriced." Last I flew with them, and the last 20 times this year, in ECONOMY I didn't pay a single penny for my snacks, or drinks. Now, if we're talking about alcohol.. no major US carrier offers free alcoholic beverages in Economy class on domestic…

Here comes the daily "trolling on airlines is the new black" comment..

How the hell can you compare a domestic airline to a major airline that serves way more domestic destinations *and* international destinations? LOL. On the domestic front, at least Delta has seats that offer extra legroom, First Class, lie-flat…

Cute. Reminds me of the "Good ol' America" with the promise of box-set spaceship tokens in your cereal boxes with a nice fat helping of "anything is possible."

Volvo likes doing things weird, this includes hiding things in the back of the trunk. Like the damn battery. Also notable, tilting headlight assemblies for high-beam (because dual-filament is not an option).

Now I really want some graham crackers.
