Worse was a guy on a coast to coast that had thousands of sealed envelopes, would tear open each one, look at the contents for 2 sec. then tear it all up, all on an o-dark-thirty am flight with everyone trying to sleep. Lasted for four hours, he didn't have a clue.

Why do there only have to be 2 outlets/row in Y. What about those poor people in the middle seats. Jerks.

That's the small consolation you get for being trapped between two huge sweaty guys - one next to the window with a bladder the size of a sunflower kernel... and one on the aisle who is guzzling Gin and Tonics between power naps, and apparently resorbing his urine - on a 4.5 hour transcontinental flight....

Just checked his thread, so sad.
My hope is to just keep a little sense of humor in here independant from his own thread that can at least bring some laughs to the crazy things Delta has done perhaps in a different style and light in respect for him.
Back on topic however,
Why does delta need to have a premium zone and skypriority? If first class gets the skypriority experience, whats the point of having 2 separate zones? Just have platinums, golds, and silvers board in the "medallion zone". And perhaps, comfort+ in zone 1? Oh and another pet peeve of mine, why is it we just have a general boarding lane and a breeze way. Why cant we have a lane for each zone that merges at the podium? I mean how hard can it be, if WN can do it by row, I think we can have four lanes.

Esp. when I'm behind them with my rollaboard that actually fits wheels out on the 2-side, and then I have to decide whether to ask them to move theirs across or just take up unnecessary space on the 3-side.
As a bonus, on most DL planes, and definitely the 3-side of the MDs I'm always on, I can fit my roller in wheels first/out, and then my briefcase in front of that. Yes, I'm putting both my items in the OHB, but I'm usually still taking up less bin space than one 22" roller that comes all the way out to the door (FAs will still stuff jackets/purses/etc. on top of my briefcase), and I have a more comfortable flight at the same time.
Come at me, OHB police!

Both outlets are *for* the middle seat.
That's the small consolation you get for being trapped between two huge sweaty guys - one next to the window with a bladder the size of a sunflower kernel... and one on the aisle who is guzzling Gin and Tonics between power naps, and apparently resorbing his urine - on a 4.5 hour transcontinental flight....

This reminded me of MSP-LAX flight last year. There was equipment swap at 24 hours prior to the departure, so I guess everyone was scrambling to get a decent seat back. At least I was. I ended up in a C+ window (instead of C+ aisle).
A guy in the middle C+ turned out to be a Diamond, who missed on the F upgrade. He told me he could not believe it happened to him. He even opened delta app to show me how many miles he had in his account. I actually could not believe that with all his flying he did not figure out that he needed to be proactive to get himself out of the middle seat by checking the seat map. But I digress.
The guy took both outlets. And he used Gogo WIFI to listen to the teleconference, which I think is against Gogo T&C. To his credit, when I asked at the end of the flight if I could use one outlet he apologized for taking both outlets. He actually was a pretty nice and likable guy (maybe lacking self-awareness a bit) and this is why he did not end up in the DYKWIA thread.
