Whose blasted idea was it to show the knock-out FA who is collecting glasses for only a split second?

One of those ideas, for example, called for Fred Armisen to subtly appear throughout at least one of the videos...
That would have been Fantastic! Just subtly running around the cabin putting birds on things....

Like the video overall. However the FA narrating the whole thing is a little too robotic and formal. The old one was warmer and friendlier style.

I can't remember seeing so many empty seats on DL plane.

I like version 2 better

Both were good and held my attention - version 2 is just a little better IMHO

Love this! I am assuming they are all DL employees again. I wish the music were more catchy though. It seems a bit subdued. Kat's cameo and the bonsai tree are my two favorite parts!

I noticed something was up because the front of the cabin appeared to be the front of the aircraft, with the forward Y and J cabins missing. There is a shot of the J cabin at the end of the video, but it takes place predominantly in the large Y cabin.

This humourous version is great!

Definitely like v1 better. Either way, my fav part is the exit row part:

"Are you willing and able to assist with the operation of the exit if necessary?"

- Eh, not really.

GREAT!

You need to watch some of the Air New Zealand clips

So funny! I thought I was the only one.

In fact, I left a comment on Delta's facebook page announcing the videos asking where CE Woolmans desk was!

The gag that got me to laugh was the turbulence tea cup lady, more because of the reaction of her seatmate. With the many coffee's spilled on me over the years, guess I could relate.

I thought the new safety vid would include instructions on how to properly place your feet on the bulkhead wall and the importance of keeping your shoes/socks on while feet are positioned on the wall.

Two things. 1. It would have been nice to use a male F/A narrator in one version, vs. female in both. 2. It would have been nice to see a female pilot at the end in one version, vs. Magnum P.I. In both. other than that I enjoyed them.
