4.0 out of 5 stars Great Info, But a bit scattered., November 1, 1999
By D. Aaron (Utah,USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Delta Airlines Book (ABC Airliner) (Paperback)
Some very interesting stuff, Very informative about the operational aspects of the airline. However, not a whole lot of information or much detail of the aircraft in the it's fleet past and present. But there is a full list of A/C types and thier Reg #'s. Overall pretty good.

1.0 out of 5 stars Book of air, April 9, 2006
This review is from: Delta Airlines Book (ABC Airliner) (Paperback)
For background, I have significant experience in the airline industry, but have never worked for Delta.

While the author has clearly talked to many people involved with Delta's history, he has done little more than catalog the bitter sentiments of former employees. His criticisms of the management team would have a lot more credibility if they were accompanied by something resembling a practical alternative. For example, while he seems to agree that costs were out of line in the early 90s, he blasts the layoffs as an assault on the Delta Family. How would he have reduced costs without layoffs? The fact is, nearly every legacy airline in North America has gone bankrupt at least once. Running one requires making a lot of tough decisions in the face of criticism from many people that don't know what they're talking about.

This book appears to be nothing more than a large piece of marketing material for his consulting business. If there were more substance included it might be more effective.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Book for all Delta Fans!!!, September 9, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Delta Airlines Book (ABC Airliner) (Paperback)
This book contains great information about Delta's history, fleet, maintanance, and the Delta Shuttle, Delta Express, and Delta Connection. It also has a listing of every plane in Delta's current fleet. The only downside is the book is 96 pages.

5.0 out of 5 stars If you love DELTA, you must get this book now!
I am surprised to see this book available. I am a collector and it is great to see Delta's old (but wonderful) livery still on the front of books. Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars The only Delta Air Line book of this type available.
Buy this book while you still have the opportunity! Most of the Delta fleet has been reduced to the Boeing 7's, but this book is from the days prior to September 11, 2001... Read more
