The trivia is fun. Nobody wanted to play on my last flight, so that was less than awesome.
I still contend the best IFE is a window seat, some ear plugs, and a good book or magazine...
what? no community trivia on your flights?
I just think it's funny that someone who purports to post with such credibility on the subject of the DL inflight experience hardly ever experiences it. According to travelnet since April 2011 I have flown 114 segments on mainline and DL connection carriers, not including the interline jumpseat travel I took before my household was a DL employee household -- not trying to get into a d*ck measuring contest, I just want you to know that I am not someone who doesn't know what I am talking about so please don't talk down to me as if I don't.
yeah you are trying to argue that your equipment is bigger - and it simply isn't and neither is your DL travel history larger than mine.
I'm glad you enjoy your Delta pass privileges... Í would strongly encourage you to be very careful about assuming that other people, paid customers or not, don't know DL service as well as you do.
And whether you spend more time on DL domestic flights or not doesn't change that I haven't had whatever level of frustration with DL's IFE system that you apparently have.
Maybe on domestic flights, it isn't that much of a priority - or I use the internet which is available on AAL DL 2 cabin domestic flights.
Neither does any of this change that DL is generating cash at a rate that is FAR in excess of what any other US airline - or much of any in the world is or can do based on their spending plans.
Thus, DL has the flexibility to do a lot of things other carriers simply cannot.
The industry is at a high point right now. Aircraft have 20 year life cycles - minimum.
The chances that DL's frugality with fleet spending will prove to be an enormous advantage compared to its competitors is fairly high.
