(irks is too strong of a word but can't think of anything else to use right now): It irks me that the app can show you the inbound aircraft but delta.com can't.
ETA: My typos irk me more.

Adding my vote that zone boarding sucks no matter how much lipstick you put on it. We once had 1-9, then 1-6, then 1-4, now we have PREM, SKY, and 1-3.
Just board from the rear of the aircraft forward, geniuses.
Also, what the hell is wrong with Delta that seats 22A and F on the new 757s are Premium Seats...with no window?
e- Oh yeah, I just got half the former amount of miles I'd get on a CMH-DAB round trip. Glad I don't get gipped more often than I already do with SkyMiles because I rarely leave the Eastern Time Zone.

This is never going to happen, neither is the "windows first, then middle seats, then aisles" plan, or any of that stuff, people should just stop complaining about it. The goal delta has in designing the boarding process isn't "to get the plane boarded as quickly as possible". It's "make elites happy" and what elites want is to board early, regardless of where they are sitting, so they can get overhead space and not have to worry about Joe Tourist Kettle (the most despised creature on the face of the planet, from reading these forums) taking up the elites' god-given right to the bins above row 7.

on the 36J 763, 6A is a non-window "window" seat because that's where the ECS (Environmental Control System -- aka air conditioning) riser duct is, but 7A is the crew rest seat ... c'mon Delta, why not let pax who like window seats actually have a window ... a sleeping pilot certainly shouldn't care whether there's a window or a solid panel

Just happened. . . .
At the gate, PDB's just finished. Door closed. The first F FA takes the coffee pot into the lav. Next thing you hear. . . .
WHHOOOOOSH!
Does it seem a bit tacky to pour the coffee into the toilet, or is it me?
I dunno, potential backslash, etc.

That is a common sight on RJs. I assume they don't have a sink in the galley. Realistically, probably not a big deal, but still gross. Part of the reason that if I need caffeine on the airplane, I opt for a rum and coke.
