Could this thread become legendary? It has all the elements so far. Catchy title enticing everyone to read? Check. Way off topic political ramblings? Check. Really long posts that few will read but those that do will respond by quoting the full post? Check. What else do we need?

It would be perfect if a flight out of LAX forgot the gluten free meal choice and had broken IFEs and no diet drinks and the protests were so loud that it caused an earthquake, starting fires and killing 100s of people and then PR Weezer could use it to make a snarky remark about DYKWIAs? I am just thinking out loud here.... There's gotta be something better, but I am on a deadline for a piece for the Oinion and I am putting all I have into it... Cheers?

Or at least a seat assignment and boarding priority question.
Is she related to John Carter of Mars? That could certainly lead to quite a fiery story as the couple tries to clear security at ATL.

I was on the train heading east. There was a delay when departing from D. Of course 5 seconds after I chose to get off and walk to E, the train was closing for departure. The delay overall was about 90 seconds. Just wanted to pass that along.

. It's an airport-wide thing...even the FAA tower refers to DL flights as "Dixie" to avoid confusion.

"Delta"
It's only different in ATL. It'd be "Delta" overload if a controller said "Delta (the airline) XZY, taxi via Delta (the taxiway) to the ramp" or something like that. Just a safeguard used toprevent reduce the likelihood of some confusion
