For those who did not get from the OP's thread title that he was writing a satirical post, the title alludes to an essay written by Jonathan Swift in which he proposed that we eat unwanted children.

Instead of "have one on us" coupons, delta will give out "have one trip to the toilet on us" coupons when OLCI.

"Dump One on Us" coupons. It's all about the marketing, baby. :D

No, you can't eat the FO's. The Diamonds still need them to knock the kettles and lesser elites out of the way.

+1. I never see the curtain used. That would discourage some kettles from crossing the boundary into our elite paradise. I often wish that the curtain would be deployed when I am forced to sit in the Y bulkhead seat - the aroma of fresh bananas and Harvest Cheddar Sun Chips makes me go wild with impulsive desire.

Don't worry, non-elites who are AmEx Delta Gold and Platinum Card holders are already utilized for that purpose. FO's are already being eaten alive.

Why make it so complicated? You'll need an FA to collect payment... would it be cash only or credit card?

Let's just install an electronic lock on the lavs. You'll first need to swipe your medallion card which would define whether you get free access or whether you have to pay. This will enable DL to determine how much to charge you as well. The lower your level, the more you pay. The more you use, the higher of a discount you get. Payment would be with credit card only. An Amex would give you a slight discount and so on. Lost your medallion card, full price. They could also support discount codes that are "use-once" only that you would get if you OLCI, etc. Possibilities are endless. All for the sake of keeping it simple... :p

Is there a time limit? Say 2 minutes? But of course DMs get 3. I can't wait, DL is now going to monetize the lavs!!!

Shhhhhhhhh, don't give them any ideas!

Anyone who gets nostalgic abou the golden age of flying is forgetting that most airports really did have pay toilets. They cost a dime, same as a Pepsi.

Oops, sorry, Delta forum; same as a Coke.

LOL!!!

Seriously though... with single aisle A/C and the FAs blocking that aisle with a cart performing a service, what's a kettle to do when they can't get to the back of the A/C where their lavs are?
