I'm amazed that people seem to care so much about the design of the paint job or FA uniforms. IMHO neither factor adds anything to the flying experience.

I don't really care what paint scheme DL uses given two things:

1. They adopt a design which is as cheap as possible to apply and which will hold up well while looking presentable.

2. They only repaint the planes as needed.

Does anyone know how much money DL has wasted over the years repainting planes or redesigning uniforms in order to put a personal stamp of a particular executive on the enterprise? Maybe it is not as much as I think, but it is certainly more than it should have been. One thing is clear to me; when ranking priorities for DL's limited financial resources, this cannot be anywhere near the top of the list.
