What Delta planes have seat belts like at 1.26?
I like the all exits are "clearly marked"...it seems to have some kind of cadence to it. I hope kind kid isn't unconscious by the time that dad gets around to putting his oxygen mask on. What's the deal with the little ding and the brightening of the guys teeth with the seat cushion?

The volume discrepancy is a result of...
...the engine spooling up. The video usually starts at push-back when the engines are off. The volume is automatically set at one level for "engine-off" and at a higher volume for "engine-on".

738 with AVOD
The 737-800 has been fitted with new single-chamber life vests. As a result, a manual safety demo is required since the the current safety video only shows the operation of the dual-chamber vest.

"Mobile" phones...
Nice catch on the "mobile" phone vs. "cell" phone. That always bothered me too. That's why it was changed.
There seems to be a lot of discussion around the pilot holding the mic. This was one of many "bits" you see throughout the video i.e. finger-wagging, tooth sparkle, etc. Most customers who are not as savvy as all of you aviation enthusiasts still think the pilot uses the mic when he's making a PA announcement. Additionally, the entire video was made to evoke the images people are accustomed to seeing onboard.

Wait! I thought any good night club (gay or not) doesn't get really swinging until about 2 am...or is that your point? At midnight they are playing bad Delta Safety video music?
For the record I like the music and I LOVE this video!
The name "Deltalina" totally rocks and I'm going to use it for now on!
Some other random observations:
1) At the beginning she says "MOBILE phones" should be off, not *cell* which is AWESOME because MOBILE is what everyone else in the world calls them and technically "cell" is short for "cellular" which was originally an old ANALOG technology...so really "mobile phone" is the better term. However because so many people (mis)use "cell phone" some how that is the norm in America
2) The guy who they use for the oxygen mask...could REALLY use a comb! I mean really his hair is a mess, and he has a kid with him! Maybe they are imply that kids are such a handful that grooming is too much to expect from parents?
3) It *STILL* bothers me that the pilot in the beginning is holding the PA mic!

Virgin...
The Virgin videos are clever and well produced. DL actually contemplated doing an animated video but in the end we wanted to put a human face to Delta. That's why the F/A is speaking to the "audience" rather than a random voiceover.

Oxygen mask guy
Just some background info...at the time, the O2 guy and his son had been sitting there for about 2 hours. Plus it was about 95 degrees onboard. There were also some issues getting the O2 masks to deploy on cue. So he was a bit sweaty and sticky by that time.

One thing I noticed is the lack of the use of "Delta". The only time it is verbally mentioned is when she says "A list of approved electronic devices can be found in your copy of Delta Sky Magazine located in..." Even the pilot in the beginning doesn't say thank you for flying Delta...Just thought that was interesting.

New video is fun, despite the few quirks.

How do you know her? Do you know how she ended up being selected? Did they seek her out and ask her, or was there a internal Delta contest, or were FA's asked to submit a picture and they picked from the submitted pictures/applications?
What is or real accent like, as I think I noted elsewhere in this forum, in the beginning of the video her southern accent is stronger...but it disappears as the video goes on...

She was in the Coming Out of BK Video DL made for the employees too.

Still, 4:30 is just too long. The "clever" bits will distract from the important safety details. If airlines really wanted people to pay close attention, they would have live safety demonstrations on all flights. It's much harder to ignore a human standing in front of you than it is to ignore a video.

I know you will probably tell me to "lighten up", and I probably should. But the whole trend towards cutesiness in corporate America is really tiresome.
