Evening Box.

Wing of Satan (delta air lines) today announced a series of measures intended to make Delta a still-useless imitation of Continental.

When did CO have F on regionals? That is one thing I hope CO responds too, along with getting some 170's onboard!

I will call them tomorrow and see what they will do for me. Unless you're talking about something else, in which case I will need some clarification. :)

I remember a few days ago you were complaining, and thinking about going to satellite. I have the silver HD package with Dish Network, and they just added the NHL Network to the package.^ I think ConciergeMike would be interested in that channel.:D

I'm scared of risotto. My wife makes it in our house. I cooked dinner for us once and it was on the menu and I freaked out and had to have her help. Irrational fear of cooking pseudo-rice dishes is a terrible affliction. :o

I am *NOT* a vegan! I use butter (but no cream) and cheese. Lots of cheese (not that much butter though). Plus1 hates risotto.

I would go for the drunk man noodles and not the curry :-:

I have found a reason to watch the 11pm news. Mocking what comes up on screen is great practice for the overall comic timing. Gotta keep the sword of sarcasm sharp.

I have some risotto in the freezer from the last time I made it, all this talk makes me want to heat it up.

ATLANTA, Jan. 25 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Delta Air Lines (NYSE: DAL) will invest $1 billion, or about $300 million per year, through mid-2013 to improve the customer experience in the air and on the ground. The capital investment will improve the consistency and level of service provided to Delta's BusinessElite, First Class and elite-level flyers, as well as increasing the efficiency of the airline's fleet. Planned enhancements include:


•Installing full flat-bed seats in BusinessElite on 90 trans-oceanic aircraft, including 14 Boeing 767-400ERs, 52 Boeing 767-300ERs, 16 Boeing 747-400s and eight Boeing 777-200ERs. Upon completion, each of these fleets will have full flat bed seats on all aircraft.

•Adding in-seat audio and video on demand throughout Economy Class on 16 Boeing 747-400 and 52 Boeing 767-300ER aircraft. With these additions, Delta will offer personal, in-seat entertainment for both BusinessElite and Economy class customers on all wide-body aircraft.

•Adding First Class cabins to 66 CRJ-700 aircraft operated by Delta Connection carriers ASA, Comair and SkyWest, bringing to 219 the number of regional aircraft with First Class seating.

•Completing the modification of 269 pre-merger Northwest aircraft to feature Delta's signature blue leather seats, updated lighting and enhanced cabin amenities such as increased overhead bin space on pre-merger Northwest 757-200s.

•Installing winglets on more than 170 Boeing 767-300ER, 757-200 and 737-800 aircraft to extend aircraft range and improve fuel efficiency by as much as five percent.

•Renovating and expanding Delta's Los Angeles Sky Club lounge, and introducing new Sky Club locations in Seattle, Philadelphia and Indianapolis.

I watch it occasionally. They do a simulcast of the Noon-2p radio show I listen to if in the car.

I'm off to bed. Gotta run home unexpectedly tomorrow and pick up my interview gear. :-:

Night, Box.

I didn't think Classic silver alone has any HD channels.:confused:

DL updates say nothing about improving JFK. I knew you had to be nuts to run an airline, but I really didn't think being a sadomasochist was also in the job description.
