Do you feel that way if the FA wearing it in 2007 is the same one who was wearing it in the late '60s? :confused:

Those boots would really be a pain to take off for TSA security check points. :D

But they're so much more supportive for the ankles! It's a workplace safety issue, don't you see? ;)

Any chance those burgundy uniforms of the late '80s/early '90s will come back?

ROFLOL :D

my girl Carol managed to keep it going from 1966 till 2006. Though, my guess is that she was a bit happier than most NW FA's who have been around that long. Maybe it's the occasional black chip tip --- or the memories of working directly with Rosenthal et al.

That got a chuckle out of me. Thanks.

DanTravels ... Do you REALLY want to see the "mature" ladies that are such a staple on long-haul flights (like DTW-NRT which I fly ALL THE TIME) in 70's hot pants uniforms? :eek:

With rather few exceptions, no. You're the only one who read things that way... ;)

Further on DL F not being all that...

My one DL F flight was pitched to me as "business class," and based on the flight number, I anticipated that it was an international-config 767 arriving TATL and continuing ATL-LAX. It turned out to be a domestic-config 767 with what we call "domestic F." Okay, whatever.

The flight was okay enough. Nothing at all special, though, comparing it to NW. I don't remember there being a particularly impressive assortment of soft drinks. I do remember dinner (I had the beef option, if I recall) being overcooked and tough.

So... what kind of great service did I miss out on that everyone else gets in F on Delta?

I just flew DL 1579 LAX-HNL. It's a morning departure, so they serve breakfast.

The good news: free food even in Y (where I, of course, was.)

The bad news: You can have anything you want, as long as it's sausage and eggs. Even in F. I was shocked to hear this, since NW will give breakfast options in F on flights half that length.
