Only a 1h38m flight on a chopper?

How come that aircraft would even be loaded into their system as an option? Does DL operate any helicopters?

I think they used to - didn't they have a codeshare/sales agreement with NY Helicopter for trips from Manhattan to JFK at one time?

Apparently DL is flying 737-500s from ATL-SJC. In reality it's a 739

Booked flight itinerary showing aircraft as Eurocopter EC155

Must be a bug from the website updates today. Thought it was pretty odd one

Yep, I have a couple of these currently.
Flight is actually a E175 (on Compass) from SMF to SEA

I suspect they must have mucked up their Equipment database table.
I wonder if all those that are seeing these are on Compass and E175's? That would seem to point to DB Table being incorrect. Funny none the less. And of course this is NOT affecting the Seat Map, Just the view details of the flight legs

No its aggravating to have the exact same think posted over and over. It splits the topic into multiple threads. People get confused to what they say.

This isn't the case of its been a month since it was posted. We've had three different postings of the same exact thing within 24hrs.

Sorry for mistaking your post.

I don't want like another airline forum where if there's a thread even if it's 5 years old you get chastised for posting a new one. However it seems more and more that we're in a rush to post things without even looking on page one to see if one exists. (Note I've been guilty of it, so I'm speaking to myself as well)

Anyway, now that they've been merged into one, I wonder what type of service you get on board. Fine china or plastic cups? How is the cockpit secured? Can the passenger up front get a chance to fly the helicopter? Do they hand out containers for those that need to use the restroom? Inquiring minds want to know! Most importantly can they just drop me off at the helipad on top of my office building? I can only imagine the executives wondering who the heck the employee being dropped off is.
