The numbers a are larger and clearly delineated through the thin white lines, and the titles above them. Personally I find my eyes have to do less work to get the same amount of information, which is something we all wish for. I'm sure he - and hopefully most of us - understand that this isn't a one man call of personal taste. But I think when someone starts a fun project like this, people in corporations like delta can start to think outside the box and maybe make a change here or there. In the end, if you didn't like his design, you just didn't like it. I think you crafted this overreaching argument against something that was never really meant to happen.
