  • Delta Employee: In my assessment, the pax was acting in a manner that indicated they were intoxicated.
  • OP: No I wasn't!
I can't imagine that getting very far. And indeed I'd imagine the Delta staff would probably get a compliment on erring on the side of precaution, etc.
Strong agree. Even if OP was wronged, it will bubble up to corporate as he-said, she-said and when the pax assertion is "I was definitely not drunk!" it's not going to get anywhere productive.

That being said, I do find this ironic as I actually have to be a little careful with my drinking on Delta since their wine pours are something like 2+ standard drinks even for PDB
