I had a woman behind me that got up 4 or 5 times during 2.5 hour flight, each time grabbing the back of my seat each time she got up and sat down. The last time I was ready for her and when I felt her grab the seat back I pushed the recline button and back it and she went. She did not grab the seat back when she sat back down. I know not very nice but it was very irritating when she grabbed the seat back

Lady in 30D (I'm in 29C), I know we are sick of being on this plane, but immediately removing your bags from the overhead bin and placing them on the floor blocking me in my seat isn't very polite or much if a time saver. This is an A321 it's not a CRJ, we are far from getting off the plane even though the seat belt went off.
And don't be indignant when I step over your stuff when row 28 finally moved... Yes I'm going to disembark before you. There is a polite front - to - back method to this.

Work is not as generous to me as I am to myself!

the app says "your boarding pass is available" ... but when you actually go thru the screens (last one being to acknowledge no prohibited articles in your checked bags) you get the "We're sorry, we are unable to complete your check-in at this time. Please check in with an agent at the airport." message

I need a ruling if this is a valid complaint or random/pathetic. Flying ATL-PHX today, our flight had a few delays, but the gripe I have is that DL stopped providing updates. It was scheduled to board at 4:00, which then changed to 4:17 - no big deal. What bugged me was that I arrived at the gate on time for boarding, but nobody had moved; we didn't end up boarding until 4:40 but there were no updates on the digital sign, in the app, or by the gate agent. I finally received an app notification of an updated departure time after I had boarded.

On MSN>DTW>SAT two days ago, I'm in 3A on both CR9's, and some idiot from roughly row 8-10, on both, pushes through everyone in front of them to get off the plane first. The millennial woman on MSN>DTW, which was 10 minutes early and landed near center of A terminal so no long or missed connections, then was waiting for her gate checked bag. ...?!? You push through 20 people to be first to wait for your bag. The dude from DTW>SAT had his roller because it ran over my toes, but I passed him waiting in line at Hertz when I went right out to my car. So clearly neither of these people had an amazingly urgent reason to get off the flights and push through people. I know it's pathetic, but I'm from WI and we take manners seriously! Never really seen that before except in case of delays causing likely missed connections, at which point it is then understandable.
