Delta's Domestic 767-300
I noticed that I got an update via email so jump on app and realized I will be flying from SFO-ATL on Delta's 767-300. I have done this before and assume it's the interior from 1988 which is great with the puffy and comfy seat(IMO) except everything else about the plane is just awful. The overhead bins fit one bag each. The screens are awful. Overall just bad.
Are these due to be phased out and thus Delta just doesn't care about them? I get them a few times a year on random routes and always seem to get an upgrade. If someone paid the cost SFO-ATL and was presented with this in FC it would be an unwelcome sight IMO.

I think most if not all the regulars know that
per airfleets.net the active fleet is down to only a handful (N140LL, N1402A, N144DA); maybe someone with actual knowledge of the phaseout schedule could chime in

I just flew one of these slc-atl today and it was definitely on the old side for the interior. I still like the 767 though. I remember when lots of domestic routes were flown by l1011 and 767s. Now we have to endure the crappy 737 everywhere. I avoid the 737's as much as possible.
Guess not.

N144DA is currently enroute from ATL>SBD. It's several years newer than N140LL and N1402A, so it must be some kind of MX check that it's due for, for it to be retired before the two older ships.
