This is all I got from it: Apparently, general members pay $19 for the seats that us medallions get for free, and they are given zone 1. Good job to the OP, who managed to embed this little fact in such long story. I have to admit that I had to use the techniques learned during my GMAT training in order to catch his main idea.

“Do You Know Who I Am?”: The Definitive Thread of DYKWIA Stories

I couldn't believe this myself but on a flight from DTW to SAT, a DM was super upset with a FA that she didn't get to him before others. He kept saying he was DM and even he is in second 2, he should be the first one to be offered drinks. Does Delta have a policy that DM need to be offered drinks first regardless of where they are seated in FC?

Of course not! Just bad behavior, nothing you can do about that, whether it is a DM or any other pax.

In some cases, FAs may offer the first choice of meal to DMs (especially when they know that the catering was unbalanced and they would likely run out of some options), but even that happens very seldom.

honestly, I think FAs should offer the first choice to paying customers first and then to anyone who got upgraded.
