I noticed the new flight status page yesterday. Maybe I'll adjust, but initial impression is that I highly preferred the old version. The new version is overly complicated, larger/takes up too much screen space, and just is not as easy to use. Much like how they changed the display when you click 'Meal Service' when searching for flights. It's just not necessary.
Not a huge deal, but not a fan.

In fact, why not just show it on the booking and itinerary pages instead of requiring an additional click. The word "Dinner" in the FC column is fewer characters than the words "Meal Service" (with the link).

Just found the new flight schedule page:
I had to reduce the size to 80% to get 5 flights to show without scrolling.

Maybe in preparation for pre-selecting meals?

Not precisely OT, but they need to work on the flight tracker on the Delta app. I use this a lot on flights that don't have an airshow, and the map feature never seems to work in flight (it does work on the ground when connected to my network carrier), only showing a red line for the flight's path and gridlines. Also, they need to get the timing on the flights correct (they are no longer showing wheels up to touch down, but departure from the gate, which makes this somewhat useless).
