Dear DAL,
I recently flew you again to Europe and back, and was treated very nicely by the CRS's and Flight Attendants. My compliments to them. I routinely ride as a passenger on various European, Middle Eastern, and Pacific carriers and with few exceptions the Delta employees I come in contact with are at least on par with them. However, there is one area where Delta, I'm sorry to say, falls miserably short of it's competition on international routes.....
Please modernize and get rid of those crappy 767s flying your international routes. Frankly, they suck. Please configure your seats without assuming everyone is 5'5" tall and loves the taste of their own knees, and so you can walk around and not have to pass through a galley while on a stroll around the cabin. Get more lavs. Please come to the realization that this is the 21st century, and equip every seat with entertainment units. If you're going to serve food, please, at least make it edible.
And please please please drop fake PA folksiness, and that insipid, over-used phrase to "sit back, relax, and enjoy the flight", as if you can brainwash those stuffed into the cabin for a long haul into believing they've entered some kind of theraputic spa-in-the-sky. NObody can "sit back", let alone "relax", or "enjoy" anything in those godammed seats! We'd much rather hear "we'll get you there as quickly as possible!" even minus the "safely" description, because believe me after 5 hours aloft with 3 to go dangling your legs over the edge of a soft rubber raft or kicking them as you tread water begins to sound like a pretty good alternative to a Deep Vein Thrombosis blot clot hitting your heart later in the eveing.
I'm just telling you this because when the equipment and comfort of a carrier like, for instance, EgyptAir, is matching or exceeding yours, I thought you should know. Thank you for listening.
