People who use PMNW on this forum to talk about anything before a hint of a merger between NWA and DAL. If this were a Jeep forum, do you think anyone would use PMJeep to refer to a Cherokee or Wagoneer built in the 1970s and early 1980s, long before anyone imagined Chrysler was going to own them eventually? Hell, Chrysler has since merged with Daimler. It makes me wonder about some people's critical thinking skills.

Here's a conspiracy theory for you... Does Delta know which crews will receive lower survey marks and not offer post flight surveys to customers for those flights because it would lower their customer satisfaction rating, which is published and touted and a factor in compensation? It has been a long time since I had a mediocre crew and a long time since I did not receive a post flight survey. Those two happened on the same flight for me last week and now that I think of it, the last time I had a poor crew, I also did not receive a post flight survey. They weren't so bad that I feel the need to write in a complaint (although I advised my seatmate to do so because they really did not treat her very well), but the post flight survey would have been perfect for such feedback.

I enjoy conspiracy theory speculations although I prefer to call them critical thinking. Can you ask for a survey when you deplane? The USPS encourages it when I've expressed some issue. However, more times then not "oh, we don't have any at the moment".

Well today I finally had one of those "old people who didn't pay for pre check but got it for free" incidents that people here harp on and on about as if it were the biggest crime against humanity, after all, we all know what an INJUSTICE it is if a DYKWIA has to wait an extra (according to complaints) five or even TEN minutes in the security line.
I noticed this lady taking her liquids out so I decided to see how much she actually held up the line. She started removing her shoes as well, this is when she actually started causing a delay.
Total delay time:
are you ready for this?
sit down, it's shocking.
twelve seconds.

Twice in the past few days I've volunteered to take a later flight, so they protected me on later flights. In both cases, they ended up not needing me. However, the protected flights didn't get cleared off my itinerary, so I still got OTD and boarding alerts through the app for those flights I wasn't taking. I should be entitled to significant compensation for this inconvenience, right?

There was a gentleman who went through the metal detector 5 times as the ling grew longer and longer. Finally they put him in the scanner - money grab machine. That was over 2 minutes. That meant I was behind 3 people Centurion Lounge check-in so it was cumulative.

New rant: that awful loud CARPET SWEEPER they insist on rolling around in the lounge, constantly.
Please stop it! Is the carpet really that dirty?
it is so loud. between that and every other noise in the lounge that i can't stand (screaming kids) i've started to wear earplugs for the entire journey not just in air.
