I snear, with arrogance, condescension and conceit, at this post.

This is hard to believe because if you try to smuggle a sharp snear through a TSA checkpoint you get in big trouble.

It was $5 cheaper, no doubt.

If they were commuting, does Delta allow them to drink wine before their work shift?

My exact thought too!

I was hoping that would have been clarified but alas I got to the end and was disappointed. Maybe that plot line will be developed further in the (hopefully more exciting) sequel.

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.
Thank you for increasing the entropy of the universe with your rant.

I’m assuming it was overheard at the gate.

True, the snears could have been in Morse Code.

I don't think they're going to miss your domestic Y tickets. And do you think that DL and WN are like actually fighting each other, like the Starks vs the Lannisters? Like Gary Kelly has a secret plot to poison EB at his wedding? Or that DL will need the army of the Vale to save them in the battle of the biztravler?

Sorry everyone I'm just mostly excited for Sunday night! #GoT !

The guy stirs up trouble and people post in response. I'd say he got exactly what he came here for.

I believe that we have a special word for that type of poster.

Actually his post tells us more about why we don't want to fly with him than it does about Delta...….

A few months ago OP made this thread:
Delta still not the quality of Southwest
Either OP continues to occasionally fly DL despite knowing it's so bad (in his eyes) or just like posting to rile up the DL forum. Either way, you're right - it says more about the OP than it does about DL. Does OP really think his rant is going to persuade anyone on here to stop flying?

Except we are not allowed to drink alcohol when on duty, even if it's the end of our duty day....

The bigger question at hand is does OP really think...

Well actually I think most of these responses are hilarious rather than riled up, so I would argue he didn't get exactly what he came for. I mean "sharp snear through TSA"
