The DL seats in newer aircraft do move differently to provide what seems to be more room, but in actual measurement, it really is the same.

That said, DL is adding IFE to the old NW 757s. A319/320 and DC9-xx get new seat covers but little else other than a paint job and internet access via gogo.

As to detail on Pitch: DL 757s are typically 37 inches as compared to AA with 39 and UA with 38.
