The name "Delta". Does not easily abbreviate. Could have multiple meanings.

Not DL specific, and not speaking as a Person of Size, but as my complaint we must come up with a better term than Person of Size due to the inevitable abbreviation.

I think COS for Customer of Size is the alternate accepted acronym.

But the person in the story was a non-rev, so not a customer. NOS = Non-rev of Size.

There's nothing I hate more than being stuck in a center C+ seat next to a GM when I'm non-reving.

Not that you didn't get a blanket, or there aren't enough or too many, or the blanket is to short or scratchy, but the color distribution is not pleasing to you.

Fantastic!

Had a lady next to me in the center seat and she was definitely spilling over into my seat. Had to lean to the left the whole flight.

Thanksfully it was a short 1:20.

Had a women next to me on LAX-SLC F who passed gas the entire flight and didn't think I could feel it through the seat. She fell asleep and it stopped, but started up right when she woke up. Not one of my favorite flights...
