It got back to me once that an agent documented my record as “extremely rude”. Fortunately I used the messaging service and had screenshot the conversation because the agent refused to end the engagement after I repeatedly tried to end the chat and be done with said agent. Later on that day I called about the booking and the phone agent told me the previous agent documented the PNR. I wasn’t ever rude, but I was firm. I followed up and was quickly offered an apology after I submitted the screenshots.
So, start recording calls and taking screen shots of messaging conversations.
You make a very good point. Delta's financial shape isn't good at all and this is a fine method of getting hundreds of millions of dollars worth of liabilities in redeemable miles off the books.
