It’s been a little less than seven months since Chris gave you the World Premiere of our new In-Flight Safety video and behind the scenes look at filming. Thanks to your overwhelming support, this past weekend the video surpassed 1 million views on our YouTube account! We’ve been getting a LOT of feedback on the video, including funny stories from customers who have watched on our planes, requests for people wanting to spoof the video, etc.
So, we’re curious: What are the best stories or reactions you’ve seen watching our safety video in flight?

I really like the new video. I have yet to see it on the aircraft, but I can’t wait! However, i should say that I, in all honesty, prefer the old video. It just seems more classic, especially with the music. I’ll miss it (can you perhaps post a video of this on the YouTube account (preferably from the 757)? I emailed y’all a few months ago asking for the video, but my request was politely declined, which I can perfectly understand =) I don’t know why, but I really loved it. Maybe I’ll get to like the new one better when I see it in real life.
(On another note, I’ll happily say that it’s sooooooo much better than Continental’s video. I HATE that!!! And now they’re leaving SkyTeam? Good riddance!

I like the new video but today I think the 737-800 video might have an exit row boo boo.
Maybe I am mistaken but exit row 17 and 18 did not show up as having a slide. Do they not have slides?
I know the 757 has similar exits over the wings and it has slides on the wing exit.

Hi there. I love the new video. Ok, I will admit it, I love Deltalina in the new video ;-\
Just an observation, as I travel on business and international mostly, I rarely get to see it on board your 767′s. I get to HEAR Deltalina, but then get the cabin crew just do their normal routine: indicating the lights, the exits, how to work the buckle of your safety belt, “in case you have not been in a car since 1961″ (copyright Jerry Seinfeld).
But I don’t get the wagging little finger (“smoking is not allowed”) nor any of the other deliciousness of Deltalina. So I just make it up in my head…

PS I have been trying to use your tool to suggest another story but keep getting an SMPT failure (or something like that). I read an interesting story in the Detroit News dot com today about Delta’s onboard music strategy and I think that could make for an interesting read. Find the story on det news dot com on Monday 18 Aug, 2008

Is there any way I could get the MD-90 new safety video? Thanks!
