Overall, I like it more than the version we've been watching--or more accurately, trying to avoid watching.

Truer words have never been said. Please be on my flight, please be on my flight... According to the Delta blog, everyone on there (well, except the kid shown during the oxygen mask bit, ha) is an employee...I wonder where she works...?
Also, yes the main FA has HUGE lips. I do like it when she wags her finger though with the 'no smoking', haha! Nice work Delta!

Why the PA mic?
At the very beginning WHY, OH WHY, is the pilot speaking into a PA mic? That would make sense if they showed him facing forward like normal when a pilot makes and announcement...but if he is going to be turned around and staring into the camera ANYWAYS.....why have the mic in his hand? I hope when DL pilots make announcements on flights they don't randomly turn around and face the back of the cockpit!!! OTHERWSE I really like this video, cute and interesting without being TOO cute...

Good: Visual demonstrations of life jacket use.
Bad: Spending at least three minutes trying to figure out if Lips is pretty or not; finally decided no. Why didn't they go with a more "universal" looking girl of the type that ad agencies love so much?
I prefer UA's video - everyone seems so sincere. I wish I could say that about the rest of UA.
Then there's ANA's video (though this version is a little old):

You get the impression that nothing could possibly go wrong.
Most of all, I can never get over the 50-year old's voice coming out of the 20-something FA's mouth.
I think DL should have hired an English speaking NH FA to be the "face" of the new safety video. They'd certainly have my attention.

They probably wanted to find a way to get people to watch the video. Easy... put a hot gal at the beginning and all the men on the plane will be glued to the TV waiting to see if she shows up again
It kinda reminds me of the Delta TV music/entertainment segment from early 2007 that featured some hot pop singer dancing around wearing very little clothes. I was sitting near the back of a 752 on one flight and couldn't help but notice that just about every pair of male eyes (including my own) would look up every time she was on the screen.

where'd the accent go?
If you just listen to the video, try closing your eyes, at the beginning the FA's accent is noticeable, especially when she says "phone" but by the end of the video the accent is pretty much all gone...

Suggestions for her name....
Can't we come up with something better to call her?
Here are some:
Deltangelina
Delta Jolie
OR
D'angelina where the "D" stands for Delta -Pronounced "DEE angelina"
O.K. the more I say it outloud the more I like it... Hm...does this forum have polls?
