Delta was known for always waiting for a passenger on the last connecting flight. The stews were great. Last week I flew back from Jamaca and the "oldhag" FA would not allow a newly wed couple in first to change seats to fly together and yelled at a passenger who offered to switch.
Now they have first seats open, but wont give them out until the airport? They may have made a couple of hundred on that seat, but they lost my 100k per year.
BeatCal - I love to hear this stuff. When did you start flying? Looks like early 80's? What was your favorite plane?
