Yes, they did a great job... 4-6 years ago. The product is already dated and to be honest was never that good to begin with. It only seemed good because of what it replaced. The unfortunate thing for Delta is that they seem to want to keep these planes around longer and in larger numbers than the other airlines mentioned.

Well, what would you like Delta to do, call in a specialist from Boeing and have them make the cabin wider? It can't be done. It is what it is. AA has the same style BE seat on there refurbished 767. You cant squeeze water out of a rock. Would you rather have what UA currently has on the bulk of the 767 fleet; 2-1-2? That to me is worse than your so called 'coffin' seat. Sure, you might have more room to move your feet around but at the cost of having a stranger sitting next to you and forced having someone climb over you or you doing the climbing.
