Step aside Angelina Jolie, Ms. Safety is here

Admit it. You pay as much attention to safety videos as you do to airline menus. They're both boring, stale and never fail to underwhelm you - even when you're starving. This past weekend, Katherine Lee made her debut on YouTube, sending a clear message to airline execs: If you want to make us happy, give us something fresh.

Katherine Lee as DeltalinaKatherine Lee as DeltalinaKatherine Lee, the single 33-year-old who has been with the airline for a decade, stars in Delta's newest safety video. She auditioned against 81 other flight attendants to be the new face of safety for the airline. Her cheekbones have earned her the name of "Deltalina" - a tribute to her similarity to Angelina Jolie. But is she sexy enough to make you pay attention to safety during your next flight? Do you even care?

Delta's confident that not only will you want to watch her for her beauty but also her playful, intelligent personality. And they're betting her covergirl smile and finger wag are a shoo in for male and female viewers alike.

The release to YouTube was a test drive of the airline's new image. And if interest over the weekend isn't enough of a thumbs up, you be the judge:

What do you think? Will you watch Deltalina on your next flight with Delta?

This was probably the first

This was probably the first time I've ever payed attention to a safety video. I figured she was an actress but was surprised to hear she was an actual flight attendant. She's gorgeous and the finger wagging was both hilarious and hot! Very well done video. Now only if Deltalina would show up on one of my flights!

I'm watching this video when

And yes, we adore the Bay of Fundy :-) While I'll agree it's no longer parka weather in your neck of the woods, it's not quite string bikini weather either. Shall we toast to it and let the beer warm us up? Happy St Paddy's Day! Julia"

  • On Canada Goes Green for St. Patrick's Day, Terri said "hey Travel girls, great to hear that you love our Bay of Fundy here on the east coast of Canada as much as you love Tim Horton's ...and, as a Bay of Fundy chick, I love the green tide analogy. For sure, there will be lots of fun times down here around St Paddy's day but I just want to send you a correction to say you certainly won't be needing a parka? to visit at this time of year. It's +8 to +10 degress Celius (that's in the 50s F for our American friends) - definitely well above parka weather. haha So nice that the birds are chirping and the maple sap is flying out of the trees and, ultimately, on to our pancakes. Happy spring! Terri the Bay of Fundy blogger bayoffundy.blogspot.com "

  • On Tour Bus Crash in Tortola – Caribbean Princess Passenger Dies, Sad and heavy heart said "On a note about the roads of Totrola which are steep, and windy and narrow, all the more reason that tour vehicles should have regular safety checks, SEATBELTS (which dirvers should mandate use or not allow passengers to continue with the tour, driver's should go slow, and Princess Cruise Lines should do extensive background checks, and not hire people with the nick-name of Crash-Dummy."

  • On Tour Bus Crash in Tortola – Caribbean Princess Passenger Dies, Jan said "We were also on the ship with our friends, had spent the day at the beach in Tortola where the slider on my Omega came off, "broke" and lost. I had just purchased it on board the ship the day prior. But nothing can compare to the loss of a family member. The Captain had everyones attention for the announcement. Captain Draper done a great job informing the passengers of the accident. Our thoughts and prayers are with the Rumphrey family."
