Everybody has their own reasons, and mine are these:

1.) Where I sleep on Saturday night is no more the carrier's business than where I sleep on Wednesday night. The carrier's only business is air transportation; it is not life management or activity control. Since their operating cost niether goes down nor up on Sunday versus Saturday, my cost to go home on Saturday (or any other day) versus Sunday will not increase or decrease either.

2.) Contracts of Carriage have been litigated repeatedly since 1974, always resulting in a win by the customer and a loss by the carrier except in cases where the COC is stating statutory and regulatory requirements under federal law. There is no statute or regulation anywhere that mandates subjects such as day of travel, trip length, etc. Such subject regurgitations by the carrier are pointless drivel. Foolish people follow it and employees support it because they fly for free without such mindless games. If employees flying free can go home on Friday, why should paying customers wait until Sunday, in this case?

3.) Any unilateral attempt by a carrier to extract more money from me under guise of a "contract" clause that is unenforceable always has been ignored by me and always will be ignored by me.


The folks at Delta, including those who have posted here, are laughing their heads off at the length of this subject discussion.
