This route may switch to a 757-200 ETOPS bird which has full cabin AVOD.

Was a fantastic way to pass the time and really enjoyed it. Since then, I haven't seen it again on TATL. With the rapid deployment of the upgrades Delta has been doing I see the odds improving of it being on my flight, - but is there any way to truly verify if the scheduled 767-300ER has been upgraded or not on this or other flights? Now if Delta can rush the upgrades of the cozy suite seats too - that would truly be impressive as well [hint, hint] ;-) I fly ATL-MAN several times a year (in fact I am on DL64 tomorrow) and have seen the AVOD once last year on both legs of my trip.

In-seat power is not offered in Economy. Upgrades to the Economy cabin on the -300ER fleet are planned for 2010.

Would that plane have Delta on Demand or are we stuck with the old system. Also our Seats are 21A and B, are those good seats? Chris,

I am currently assigned to an exit row seat (specifically 30A) in economy class. Do you know if Delta on Demand can be seen from this seat? Chris:

From multiple reboots, constantly freezing/dropping TV, few received TV stations, or audio channel cross-talk with seatmate. The problems are SO bad, that I'm shocked when it actually does work. DL really needs to act PROTO on these issues. They've been going on for years.

As a product manager, I take it very personally when we don't deliver on the products we've spent so much time and money developing. There is a huge focus on improving reliability and am optimistic that we are close. Geoffrey…I know it’s frustrating when the system doesn’t perform as it should.
