Delta Air Lines Boeing 767-400ER landing in Atlanta

[mickithebush]

Excellent quality, man! Really enjoyed this.

[FSProduction154]

is in seat 27A , because i was on that seat when i was flying from LIM-ATL-LGA

LIM-ATL was about 6hr and 16 minutes with a 3 hour delay due to the weather in Atlanta. :(

[mav657]

in what seat you where?



[LastXdeth]

LAX - ATL is the best domestic route!

[FSProduction154]

i like the 300 version better

quiet

I know that many have had poor experiences with DL, I don't typically fly them, but on the whole I've had pretty good luck with them. Unfortunately I can't fly on them anymore, DL realized that F9 was a Low-Cost Carrier and decided we weren't worthy of flying on the almighty legacy - shame, it has a nice network to fly through.

[MrDetwaa]

wow it's so quite inside. Never been in a plane that quite.

[jetairways773]

@SkyWestCRJPilot o ok

[jetairways773]

@SkyWestCRJPilot is AA any good

[jetairways773]

@SkyWestCRJPilot delta is good but i like jet airways hence my username

The flaperon's movements on approach are the reason why the 767-series are my favorite aircraft to fly in.

[stuartlb]

Is that the new end-around (perimeter) taxiway that can be seen at 1:07?

[scaremenga]

Probably the best 767 landing i've seen, considering that forward-tilting gear.

[nickmorse747]

A 767 400 is really good plane.

[DeltaAirlinesFlyer]

No doubt

DA BITCH

[deltafan909]

dude you have a niceee camera.

[pda998]

Yes, but it is a multi-segment flight. First, Delta 152, a 767-400 departs LAX for ATL. After it lands, the flight number remains but an equipment switch occurs, to a 777, and then it flies from ATL to Tel Aviv.

[cubsrule2040]

A 737-800 could easily fly from LAX to ATL

[boeing7372]

and a 737 does, although its the -700 version on Airtran.

[cubsrule2040]

I wonder why Delta used a 764 rather than a 738 or 752 on this route

[boeing7372]

I would guess that depending on the load factor, the distance on the route probably allows a 764 to pay off. Its the same concept of why Hawaiian was able to offer low fares on their 763s on LAX-HNL and Aloha had trouble matching the fares (although they flew SNA-HNL).

[BobWeaver112]

@cubsrule2040 Probably because they need the extra passenger and/or cargo capacity. It's not a range issue.

[boeing7372]

Well, ATL-LAX is a hub to hub route for Delta, and if I remember correctly, at least one of flights is/was done with the A/c that flies LAX-SYD. Ah well.

[BobWeaver112]

@boeing7372 LAX is not a hub for Delta, but rather a focus city. Delta uses the 777-200LR on the LAX-SYD route.

[boeing7372]

Apologies, yes LAX is not a DL hub, it is a focus city. Nevertheless, I meant that they probably have quite a bit of feed on the route and that may be part of the reason they put a 777-200 on the route, or of course it may be just because the A/c is needed in ATL.

[scaremenga]

@boeing7372 A 767-332 can be filled at 90% load factor on most ATL-LAX flights. Putting a 777-200 is not because their is demand, but rather a way that DL can increase fleet utilisation. It makes no sense to put a 777-232ER on LAX-ATL, but it makes less sense to have one sitting at ATL wasting gate or ramp space. Wasting gate space means that's one less flight that could have brought in paying passengers.

[BobWeaver112]

@scaremenga While the gate argument is possible, if Delta sees the need to drop a 777 on an ATL-LAX segment because bookings are strong and additional revenue could be realized and an aircraft is available, then I'm fairly confident that they would do it. A 777 on a route like that could very well mean an increase in demand.

[scaremenga]

@BobWeaver112 There is an everyday 777-200LR flight, Delta 16 usually, that flies from LAX-ATL. This is after it's come over the pacific from SYD. It makes sense for them to put passengers on the flight, more revenue. Also, LF numbers are pretty high, 777-200LR leaving on 12/13 is ~98% booked. It's probably all of these factors, the 777 is a very capable aircraft and Delta exemplifies that.

[songdelta]

flight 152 is from tel aviv to atlanta no ? or atlanta tel aviv ?
