Delta Air Lines has completed the installation of full flat-bed seats in the BusinessElite cabins of all Boeing 777 and 767-400ER type aircraft. The last of 18 Boeing 777 aircraft, each with 45 BusinessElite seats per plane, and all 21 Boeing 767-400ER aircraft with 40 BusinessElite seats per plane have been retrofitted with full flat-bed seats. Each seat includes direct aisle access.
"A full flat-bed seat with direct aisle access is a premium cabin feature that's important to our customers and we're delivering," said Tim Mapes, senior vice president – marketing. "Installing full flat-bed seats on each of our widebody international aircraft is a major component of the $2 billion investment Delta is making in our product and customer experience over the next two years."
Progress continues as Delta's first Boeing 767-300ER will receive its scheduled full flat-bed in August. To date, more than 25% of Delta's widebody international fleet has received the upgrade and the airline's entire widebody international fleet of more than 140 aircraft will be flying with full flat-bed seats in BusinessElite by the end of 2013.

Now, can they complete the replacement of the old, obese, surly flight attendants with something resembling customer service?

Delta was just ranked #2 in the top 19 "most hated US corporations" by Americans... There were 4 US airlines in the top 10. The "best" was American at #9 most hated... LOL.
