Indeed. Delta likes to release a safety video practically on a daily basis.

They announced their latest video game at the same time with Biscotti references. There is no letting up in competition.

I think it's a little long, and a little boring. The music is pretty uninspiring, and it doesn't feel like you're going somewhere, like the old video did. Oh well.

Interesting "making of" going around their Facebook page.

I wish I thought a lot of "bored" passengers who might seriously hinder any actual emergency procedures were actually paying attention to it.

I feel it's really stale and boring. I lost interest about a minute into it. I like the old one better, even though I have seen it thousands of times, it really made you feel like you were packing up, getting ready for take off, going on a journey!

I love her voice, it's just not the voice I would have chosen for a safety video.

Haha, they definitely seem to have taken a few of the DL oddities. They also appear to have recycled the set of the VX safety video.

I don't really understand the point of these long intricate and often confusing safety videos. For example, no part of this video even came close to taking place on an aircraft. Hit the important points, make it quick and clear, and stop trying to make it cute and entertaining. The reality is that no one pays attention to it anyway, no matter how appealing they try to make it.

I have to agree! This video is about as bad as their new commercial. It certainly doesn't represent a "global" airline.

Good, except for the long intro as noted. And the multi-armed exit-light waving was a silly distraction implying significance where there apparently is none.

I wonder if the aircraft-specific bit in the middle will be tailored to each craft? That would be a great improvement.

Im 100% sure that was intentional. The director also runs into the celebration shot.

I am pretty sure they will have a different craft specific section (the flipping charts) for each plane. Whether they filmed it or use CGI, I am not sure.

I also saw a seat belt example containing the shoulder belt, so that part should show up when a craft has that type of belt.
