Yes, of course there is a banana cert! For anyone who reads this, per DL management, tongue planted firmly in cheek, kindly print out the entire TEN pages of this thread and hand it to any DL flight attendant in domestic first for a complimentary banana, and a weird look, followed by roars of laughter from the flight crew about 20 minutes later!

Not even worth your posting. I'm sure the FA assumed there were folks like me that hate bananas and would have to be close to starvation before I would eat one. Were you the last seat? How about the guy behind you. She didn't eat "his" banana.
If this is your worst flight experience, you are fortunate indeed.

Write the letter. This is a culture problem that needs to be fixed, now.

For some people, they favor an attitude that is well represented by an old expression that some people here might be familiar with: "Don't major in minor."
Others might favor a basically opposite attitude that is well conveyed by another old expression that some people might be familiar with: "Take care of the little things, and the big things will take care of themselves."
I happen to believe that the attitude is the problem, as I said above, and that DL customer service/management needs to address the attitude problem, because, as you said, if they can't adequately deal with something so minor (though important), then they have no chance of fixing what are really, truly, big problems.

Based upon my observations, there are a few male FAs who would get very excited about that comment and you might find yourself in an extremely awkward position, so to speak.

Delta keeps track of all the letters and complaints that you send in. Is this something really worth whining about??? Unbelievable........
