DL recently re-stitched and re-padded the Y seats, so I don't see them getting any changes anytime soon. However, personally think DL should at least incorporate some red in EC, since the row markers are red. Perhaps DL can replace the "Confederate gray" headrests with red ones, considering the gray is gone from F.

Nobody's expecting top quality leather seats, but plenty of people find fabric seats to be more comfortable.

most people can tolerate sitting in a ballpark seat, or an arena seat for 3 hours or so. I can see a certain US airline and a certain European airline installing ballpark style seats on planes with flights that are under 3 hours.

But when you're at the ballgame you get up more than when you fly for 3 hours. And who thinks ballpark seats are comfortable ;-)

I thought these were coach seats and thought they looked okay, but for First they look awful. I guess with less competition after all the mergers Delta does not have to compete as much with comfort and can still make great profits!
