So you did the mental arithmetic and still decided you'd rather have the meal?

Sumthin' like that . . . .

Basically, I HATE to write or call in complaints. I don't want to have my account labeled / flagged as a complainer, so, I save it for the "bigger stuff".

My last complaint was, when I flew XYZ/PIT on a CR9 (can't remember what city). An overhead bin door broke / fell off. They had it stored in the F closet. When we got to PIT, the closet door was jammed shut (stuck on the bin door), and, they made us deplane and sit at the gate for a SOLID HOUR (from 11PM - midnight) waiting for maintenance to unjam it waiting for our coats and carry-ons. Why didn't they store the broken bin door in the cargo / luggage area?!?

They responded with a standard canned "I'm sorry" eMail. I replied that I was surprised that they didn't feel my complaint was worthy of any comp. They replied - - - Ohhhh!!! I didn't know THAT'S what you were interested in! They threw me 5K miles. I really don't have too many glitches, thus, RARELY complain. I teeter-tottered on whether or not to send this complaint.

I mean reporting a lazy FA not serving lunch until you called him/her out on it not caring about the possible miles they may throw at you. I dont think delta is going to flag someone who has a legit complaint like this.

Believe me, he wasn't lazy! After I pointed the lunch service to him online, he was extreeeeeeeeeemely, overly apologetic! He really <somehow> didn't know that this flight was slated for a lunch service!

FAs (and occasionally flight crew as well) who mangle the end of the "Thanks for flying with us, and have a nice day" announcement while taxiing to the gate

I rarely hear "... wherever your final destination may be" or "... wherever the rest of your travels may take you" because far too often they say "... wherever your final destination may take you"

think about it: your DESTINATION doesn't TAKE you anywhere

I'm in the MEM SC, but Google Maps geolocates me to somewhere just west of PBI, and refreshing Google Calendar, which usually picks up on time zone changes, still thinks I'm in PDT.

davetravels

Are you using the SC wifi that doesn't know where it's located, or your phone company hasn't caught up with all of you travel yet?!?

kochleffel

"Final destination" gets on my nerves no matter what. Final destination = the grave.

Zorak

It was the SC wifi -- DGKWIA?

It does come up with the correct location when connected to the airport wifi.

Why can't domestic First have a seatback tray table *and* an armrest tray table, so I don't have to stop working when the meal is served?

jrl767

seat back tray tables in F are so 1990s ...

Renes Points

Well... on a domestic 767-300 you can get that (in exit row two aka 26 AB or FG)



Plus, when you think about it, the seat width is about the same in 1st can coach so...

I don't know where to post this so here it goes....what's with the LAX SkyClub agent who checks you in wearing sunglasses at 5am? Sweet as she can be but seems so odd...

pvn

Maybe she has photosensitivity, or a lazy eye, or who knows. There could be a million reasons, 99% of which are none of your business since it's apparently not adversely impacting her job.

Zorak

Don't disagree with you, but I don't think he claimed it was adversely impacting her job, just that it was odd and he was curious. And he didn't ask her directly, he asked if anyone here knew the story.

My silly/pathetic rant: DL sent me an email survey asking about the phone conversation I had with a DL agent on 9/1. Thing is, I didn't have a phone call with DL on 9/1. I had one on 8/31 though. I did consider that it was evening PDT which could have been past midnight but I checked the time of the ticket reissue email I received and it wasn't.

I did fly DL on 9/1 (although not on the ticket that was the subject of the phone call). So I wonder if the survey system has the wrong date, or wrong type of interaction. Shrug.
