These guys are a bunch of clowns. They are the Tabasco to the heartburn. The United to the customer service. The Jim Jones to the Kool-aid. The fly to the steaming pile of shit. Clean house.

Jump to postDL is such a train wreck of an airline. The continuing problems are a symptom of terrible leadership. Welcome to the new Delta. Same as the old steaming pile of crap.
Jump to postHey, as long as you are in seat 80K on N662US, who cares about what other people are going through due to DL's horrible response. Right jumbojet? Can't wait for you to spin this. We are all eagerly anticipating your DL fanboy nonsense.
Jump to postyou hear a lot of, I will never fly Delta again and guess what, the grass isn't greener. One flight on UA, AA or even B6 and those folks will be coming right back to DL. Those airlines are consistently the worst reliability wise and operationally wise. DL is still the best operationally run airline...

It is depressing that with all the fanboy finger pointing on here that people are missing a real news story. There are major IT issues at DL that are making this much, much worse, and it is still in process. Go look at some of the crew forums online. There are people with open time requests all ove...
Jump to postI'm currently posting this from DL2536 SEA-MSP. Sufficiently late that I will miss my connection to TYS. No other flight until 5:45pm tomorrow. I've recently been status matched to Gold Medallion from being AA Plat, yet it took me a lot longer to even get this worked out compared to when I dealt wi...
Jump to postI can't believe how crappy DL is as an airline. They have to be the worst this side of Aeroflot.
Jump to postA quick check of weather shows clear skies, light winds, and VFR conditions for the past 24 hours at ATL. Yet FlightAware today shows DL with 716 cancellations and 1,568 late flights. Only 32% of flights are on-time and that's just mainline. Endeavor and the others are just about as bad. Other airl...
Jump to postHonestly, I think this thread has run its course. Lots of opinions on here from both sides. Which is good and fine when done constructively and without agendas. I'm as guilty as anyone else for taking a side. Whether it is deemed right or wrong in the eyes of others. Let's all just step back a bit t...
Jump to postWho are you to say airlines shouldn't have a right to set whatever dress code they deem appropriate for non-rev pass riders? A libertarian. I guess being overtaxed and overregulated will not be an issue with you. Huh? What are you going on about? What does a dress code on an airline have to do with...

Jump to postYears ago the airlines guild lines for employees traveling or friends/family the travelers had to be dressed up.

Jump to postThe gate agent was doing her job. She was following the rules set forth by the company who gives her a paycheck. The rules state "no leggings" for non-revs. Should the gate agent have looked the other way only to face a possible reprimand later? Or, what about the person who issued the pa...
Jump to postIf they went straight to the gate, then of course passenger could of overheard why they were being denied boarding. I don't think UA did anything wrong. It seems the problem was not with the airline employees who were denied board but with a woman passenger who made assumptions off the limited conv...
Jump to postOh, and I really love how you deem people who whine about rules as being "progressive". No, they are childish and the reason we are seeing such a downfall in American society. What's the count in this thread now for ominous pronouncements on The Downfall of Western Civilization™? I though...
Jump to postThis whole incident has got me thinking about how at the end of the day, modesty standards are inherently arbitrary. I've seen a few mentions of leggings being "tacky" and "inappropriate," but I honestly don't see how this is the case, since leggings do cover up the required are...
Jump to postI'm taking my first trip to Asia tomorrow. First leg is ANA NH1 from IAD to NRT, then NH807 from NRT-BKK. I booked the flights through United. My questions- 1. Check in and boarding pass are done at the ANA counter in DC, correct? 2. I believe I have to clear security in Tokyo before going to the g...

Jump to postPeople arguing on here are failing to realize it's possible for two things to be true simultaneously: 1) Non-rev passengers should follow the rules 2) United (or any other airline) should not have an arbitrary dress code for its non-rev passengers The "rules must be followed at all costs"...

Jump to postI can see UA adopting a similar policy to DL and for those that think I am Delta Fanboying, how many other things does UA follow DL on? This should be a no brainer. Whats good for the general paying flying public should be good enough for a non-rev. Plain and simple. If the attire is that egregious...
Jump to post:checkmark: :checkmark: :checkmark: And if the reports are correct, these were not UA employees; they were from another airline, which may have a very different dress code. Sorry, but that's not how it works. If you travel under a nonrev agreement on another airline, you respect their rules. You do...
Jump to postThere's virtually no local traffic DTW/PTY. If NK were to expand internationally, it'd be weekend-only seasonal service to PUJ, PVR, SJD and/or MBJ (with PUJ leading the bunch). That is the first time I have seen him/her/it preface by saying, "If there is any really (sic) money to be made...&q...
Jump to postThe difference between IAH and DFW seems to be that DFW has an aggressive hub carrier that has added its own international spokes, thus limiting the ability of foreign flag carriers to come into the market and be profitable. IAH is the reverse, as the foreign carriers move into the market first, le...
Jump to postNo, IAH does not have slots. But depending on the proposed schedule, it very well may have to do with the ability to handle the flight at Terminal D. There is no room at all during the peak times from around 1pm to 6pm. I would think any slot issues would be on the Shanghai end.
Jump to postNo equipment type is mentioned in the article, but as others have stated, it would have to be a 777W if the route is starting in 3-4 months. I don't think MU currently has any other aircraft capable of operating PVG-IAH nonstop. The two new European cities mentioned in the article are Edinburgh and ...
Jump to postBut it certainly doesn't mean that "a majority" (as you initially claimed) of Trump supporters have never traveled internationally. You missed my point. Let's go back to the original statement. The stupid part of all this, is that a majority of Trump supporters could care less. Most have ...
Jump to postUnverifiable. You asked for sources to help with your understanding. I provided them. Now you present your ignorance in full view. My argument is verified, by your lack of intelligent counter facts. At the end of the day, though most US citizens aren't affected at all. When you break it down, most ...
Jump to postI have presented more evidence than you have. Perhaps you can use your twitter account with a President Trump approved "No Evidence Needed" feature. Oh, but that is where you have made a big mistake. See, I have not made any unverifiable claims to the contrary. Simply because there is not...
Jump to postIt is because they live in a bubble of fake news about foreigners and American superiority. You will find that of the majority of Trump supporters don't travel much, and live relatively close to where they grew up. https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2016/10/trump-supporters-hometowns/5030...
Jump to postThe stupid part of all this, is that a majority of Trump supporters could care less. Most have never left the US for extended periods , unless they were travelling on orders..

Jump to postAeromexico' newest white, blue and red livery was introduced in 2007. I'm really surprised to see they still have 737's and 777's painted in the old bare metal scheme 10 years later. How is it these aircraft haven't been repainted into the new white-based livery yet? Wouldn't they have at least gott...
Jump to postThat proves absolutely nothing. Good try though.
Only until you ask the question of the almost 64,000,000 Americans who voted for Trump can you get a proper gauge on how many have travelled internationally.

Jump to postNah, it must be because they got a good price on the B77W's. Isn't that the only reason an airline would buy a Boeing over an Airbus. I think that's part of the A-Net canon, at least as chanted in some circles. :sarcastic: As long as oil prices are low, that fuel burn means less and less. Capex may...
