So on the DL 3443 ie jfk to dfw a DL badged non rev from Hurst, TX shows up, flashes her crew badge, enters before paying customers and sits in an exit row drinking free wine with arrogance, condescension and conceit. Amazing? You cant make this up? And then the DL gate attendant smiles at the nonrev while flashing snears at revenue paying customers ie nearly taking their heads off. Thank you, may I have another as DL beats down paying customers and putting them in their place.
Hope its a long time before I have to venture into the DL fraternity of disrespect. cya DL.
Back to Southwest with a smile and confidence that every dollar spent on Southwest is a worthy cause towards DLs demise.

I'm not sure it's a NRSA. Non-revs 1) do not board before paying customers, they board with their assigned group and 2) are not supposed to be wearing their badge while traveling. Could it be a crew commuting or repositioning, perhaps?
This feels like a bit of an overreaction IMO. How exactly does one drink wine with "arrogance, condescension and conceit"?

The real advantage at Southwest is there you won’t have to worry about watching a non-rev drink wine on the plane. Because you got a good shot iof you’re playing been canceled

And I hate it on DL when one person pays to board first then saves 5 choice seats for their friends who are in the last boarding group while they stare at everyone else in the middle boarding group with arrogance, condescension, and conceit.
Oh wait, DL has assigned seats. They even had assigned seats back when they stuck these on your ticket:

Don't forget the use of the term "we", when OP is clearly not actually one of "us" (regular DL flyers).

This raises the question: OP, why are you spending your money flying Delta if you hate it so much?

Very easily could have been crew commuting for duty -- believe their contracts provide for Exit Row or C+ (and F depending on stage length) so that they can safely operate their flights
