Fly With Me

Wed, 26 March 2008

Delta Airlines' latest safety video has been getting a lot of hits on Youtube, and "Deltalina" is the reason. I talk with Chris Babb, the creator of the video, and with Katherine "Kat" Lee, the flight attendant who is featured in the video. Kat has gotten the nickname "Deltalina" because she looks like Angelina Jolie.

I have parts of the interview that I didn't use in this short piece -- send me an email at joepodcaster -at- gmail.com if you want to hear more.

---> OK, OK, here it is -- more from Kat on Youtube. (This is different from what's in the podcast.)

Ok its all here now a website Deltalina.com. Where is TMZ they will need to get a crew to A town to follow her around, never mind the security Harvey its your job. This girl might just start the other Airlines to thinking how about "AmericanInParis" or maybe "HillaryTran" or even "JetBritney"?

I don't find the Delta video nearly as good or entertaining as the Virgin America video: http://youtube.com/watch?v=eyygn8HFTCo&feature=related

But maybe that just strikes the fancy of a younger audience that isn't nearly as broad as the Delta video.

I've not see the Virgin one, but I agree that I don't see why this video is such a sensation. I agree that the finger wag is a bit amusing, but other than that it is a good but not unusual video. Suggestion to all airlines: Even the best video gets pretty boring, even for a few-times-per-year flyer like me. Why not make 5 or 6 or even 10 videos and play them randomly. It would add a little interest (which one will this be!)
