It implies that CO thinks 90 minutes is a bigger deal than DL.
I would call myself an experienced flyer. Never actually counted up my miles, but for sure it's over 1 million, and six continents.

Here we go with the CO vs. DL battle.... Haven't seen this one in at least a day on FT. Waiting for one of my former NW peers to pipe in with a blast DL for not doing what NW would have done....

TPA must have been the problematic destination this week. After arriving int ATL from Key West 2 hours late on Thursday evening, it appeared that the TPA flight was on time. RIght before boarding, the pilots were pulled to work a prior TPA flight that had been delayed three hours due to a mechanical issue. New pilots were called in from home to work our 10:35 PM flight. The pilot and FO arrived around 11:45PM and the plane departed around 12:25AM.

I was delayed two times in the same day for two hours each, should I get double compensation for my troubles?

For the record, I did not complain, but may actually put a nice note in due to the fact that I was pretty impressed by how the gate agent handled things. Yes, friendly and helpful in ATL.... What a concept..
