agreed, while entertaining for all on FT to read, not so much for those at Delta. Your letter, while fun to read, won't get anyone over at DL jumping through hoops to find your bag.

The letter, if it was indeed sent, was eMailed to:

"Dear Delta Investor Relations"
Even if it was written in a non-entertaining, normal, businesslike letter format, do you really think anyone at "Delta Investor Relations" would give a hoot?

Did you pay a fee to check the bag? If so, then you have additional remedies.

Note the OP said:

I couldn't find an email contact for Delta Press Relations, so hopefully you can pass this invitation on to them...

Actually, if the OP is a DL shareholder, and identifies himself as such, his e-mail will have some weight. Otherwise, you are probably correct.

That is assuming the letter ever got there.

I really think the point was for all of us to read it and to get a laugh while OP vented frustration. You know, humor and levity. Good things, especially when all else fails.

Even if the practical solution is to sue them

The practical solution is to settle for up to $3,500 if domestic or 1,131 SDRs if international. IME, Delta proactively offers this after a delayed bag file remains open for 30 days.
