Chelsea Handler "boycotting" DL
http://www.foxnews.com/travel/2017/0...mslhyVog%3D%3D

Well hopefully that means on flights that is one more available FC seat we can all upgrade to????

Its interesting that the "controversy" had so many retweets but the message about DL fixing it had almost no retweets.

Exactly- She seems like another economic illiterate with a little blue check mark beside her name on Twitter...

a "comedian" (I use the term loosely) who used to have a show on E!

She apparently tweeted a "retraction" that no more boycott because she was "wrong"

No, I believe you're thinking of Ann Coulter.

I don't see how Ann Coulter could be mistaken for ANYONE . . . . . except maybe . . . . .

Completely airline illiterate. The equivalent of all the geniuses posting spaghetti models.

Devil part aside, Ann Coulter wishes she looked that good.

My first thought was, and remains, another over-exposed liberal media darling seeking to garner even more exposure. It's hard to envision anyone with half a brain in their head believing that DL would be that blatantly stupid.

My second thought was, could this situation have been just a far more extreme example of this?

If so, perhaps the bad press obtained from the current event might prompt DL IT to finally correct what is a known, recurrent problem.

Perhaps something good will come out of this inanity.

Not to mention Delta has been waiving literally all bag, pet-in-cabin, and pet-as-checked-baggage fees for Hurricane Harvey & Irma passengers... but everyone loves to hate airlines.

Well... some of that is deserved. But, not in this case.

If only celebrities were constrained to dealing with facts.

I have trouble giving credence to opinions offered up by folks who spend their lives dealing in fiction.
