So last Thursday had a 6:45am flight out of SNA (John Wayne,Orange County) as most of you know, all the planes depart the gate at 6:45am for 7am Take off do to noise...........
1st out of the gate and to the run way, at 7am, we roll over the run way and sit, 15 min later pilot tells us they gave us to much gas and we need to burn fuel. Burn fuel for 30 min and then he tells us we still have a issue so back to the gate. (Missed connection in MSP by this time) Have to kick 7 peeps of plane, for $800 per person. 45 min later we roll back out to the runway. Roll over the run way and burn fuel for another 30 min before takeoff........Get to MSP and I am on the next flight out of MSP but, now have to fly coach becuase no room in 1st class. I was on a 1st class ticket.......
I have been Gold for 12 years on Delta, call the elite line and all they give me is a $200 ecredit and have me call the refund line for difference in $$$ between 1st & Coach out of MSP....
I don't feel this is near enough, it was not a mechanical or weather delay it was a weight issue on Delta's part
