Check out Delta’s new minute-long TV ad that was released this week:

It’s easily one of the best airline ads I’ve seen in, well, forever. It also beautifully sums up the airline industry. I do love the part about “never letting the rules overrule common sense.” Not sure how often that’s actually applied in the US airline industry, but it’s a nice thought nonetheless.
Do you guys love this commercial as much as I do?

All of the above (almost)...but what gets me is that they all be tell aviation pioneers they are of no regard in the present, not to mention how DL equates itself as on the same level...seriously? Operating an airline in a mediocre fashion is legend in the making? Nice ad, but just doesn't add up.
This commercial is terrible sounds like Sutherland is drunk and been smoking for 50 years
Love the pacing on the voice over for the Delta commercial.
Two months before this ad aired, I was denied a bereavement fare to attend my mother's funeral BECAUSE I DIDN'T HAVE A SATURDAY NIGHT STAY. "We don't let the rules get in the way of common sense, my a$$.
At the end of the commercial, what is Donald Sutherland saying? "It's not just lime juicy--it's the world." is what it sounds like. Thanks for clarifying. Other than not understanding what he's saying at the end, I think the series of commericals is very well done, reassuring on multiple levels, incorporating both technical and human aspects. I love Sutherland's voice; just can't make out the ending of this one.
