I just got back from a school in Alabama (old Ft. McLellan). We flew out of Atlanta on Delta MD-80 I believe. I got to admit as much as I would love to fly it, I was not thrilled being a passanger. That plane is very spartan. No wonder folks would rather fly the likes of SouthWest and America West. At least their planes are a heck of alot newer (No offense Doug.
We flew out on America West on an Airbus A-320. Much nicer plane. I know there are the financial issues with Delta and the other Biggies, but I would think that customer satisfaction would be much better with new aircraft. Maybe I am just spoiled, I don't know. I was just a little shocked. That and we sat in the plane for almost two hours while ground crew tried to trouble shoot a failed generator. That put alot of confidence in the passengers. Quite a few wanted to get off. I could care less, as I love planes and better understood what it all meant.
