-The new salt/pepper shakers while nice are a pain to open.
-Does anyone actually wipe down the consoles?.. Ever?.. Eww..
-Especially on regionals, its hard to fit 2 full sized alessi glasses on the cocktail table.
-There's a solid 3" of space from the fuselage to the armrest. In my book, thats a wasted 1.5"/seat of seat width gone.
-With ATG it took me 10 whole minutes to download Gogo Entertainment on a family members device from the play store ...after the APK wouldn't open upon
installing it from DL studio
-This is yet another flight where I had to take a coach blanket as they didn't have any blankets waiting for me at our seat. Does anyone actually watch to make sure no one steals them.
-Even upon boarding, they were almost out of soap in the lavs; honestly, is it that hard to notice?
-As seindfeld would say, there's a lack of a locking door between the cabins. Not even a curtain! How else am I supposed to feel more important than everyone else?

Got the entire crew (of 4) up there both ways.
(Gotta love no shows -right; to make things worse, one of them got up'd after boarding.
Whats YBYL again?
)I've began to notice something, my hardest routes become easy upgrade oppurtunities right after meltdowns.
My first decent upgrade was (unfortunately) on a 739 from MCO right after the august mega-meltdown.
..And now this. Honestly, I for once can't complain

After my last minute (free) UG (nod to bubba), my new Alessi flatware was really sticky and I had to fish out a wet nap to wipe it down myself....

Maddening.
Flying on DL 0664 from DCA to SLC on Wednesday.
App showing 10 open seats in F. 48 hours from flight time. I'm still back in C+.
Yeah I know, I'm on a U fare. And yea, I'm sure DL's algorithms are assuming that 6 will get bought up in next 24 hours...
But still... holding 10 open seats until the gate? Come on. Upgrade me.
p.s. don't tell me there are 5-7 purchased seats that just aren't selected yet. I won't believe you.
