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.

This is pretty picky (in keeping with the nature of this thread), but Mister DL Platinum boards and gets "Hello Mister Surname, thank you for being a diamond member" or something thereabouts. I board, as VS Gold, and get "Hello Mister Surname" - the same screen they read "platinum" shows me as VS Gold.
Is it too hard to say "thanks for choosing to fly with us?" (yes, yes it is).
I may not be a DL elite, but i am an elite on a partner airline which you also own a portion of to drive traffic to DL directly. I don't explicitly have to fly DL.

I tried to use CLEAR to enter the ATL SC that has this feature and the first fingerprint reader didn't work, so I had to move to a different dragon and try again. This probably wasted a minute of my time that I could have been enjoying in that SC. [I didn't have anything to drink there so I cannot claim that it kept me from my glass of wine for an additional minute.]

If CLEAR can save DL significant amounts of staff time, DL will start to give away CLEAR to more groups of FFers.
In fact, I wonder whether DL has some sort of exclusive (only our airline) deal with CLEAR so that the free and discounted CLEAR memberships DL gives us don't save costs for other airlines.

I don't understand the redundant soap dispensers in some of the clubs. Some have wall mounted dispensers with the generic stuff in addition to the lime smelling soap in a bottle. You would think they could reduce overhead costs by just using one.

Why? Do people use twice as much because there are two choices?

1. D1 hard product but on a domestic F route, received PDB in a plastic cup.
2. 30-minute taxi at LAX during which the TV must remain stowed
3. It's the first of the month and they still have last month's SKY magazine
