If DL wants to change the rules for SDC, they have that right and from a business sense, I don't necessarily disagree with some of the changes. But DL does owe more advance notice to customers who bought a ticket with certain understandings and expectations, and that's not in any way comparable to a weather delay.
I couldn't agree more, but I wasn't the poster that questioned. Read back in the thread. NY FLA said he wouldn't pay for SDC unless an airline paid for delays and diversions. I was just curious as to why due to the reasons you outlined above. It is
always done for safety.
FLYDELTAJETS - YOU AND I COULDN'T BE MORE ON THE SAME PAGE WITH THIS. Read the thread and you will see his statement. I was just seeking clarification due to the reasons you stated.
