Delta ECTV Mistake?
Hi all,
A non-FFer friend's husband (I know the family) faced some disruptions on a recent trip. ETA: his boss was also on the trip and received the same email; this followed issues on DL1413 ATL-FLL.

This is a screenshot (shared with permission) of the ECTV email in relation to the disrupted trip - looks like someone added a zero? They also each received 5,000 SkyMiles. She sent it to me since she knows I spend a lot of time on DL planes.



And his chat with DL this morning:

Somehow, after reading the title, I thought this thread was going to be talking about the in-seat tv monitors.

Yeah sounds like somebody did a typo and added a zero or two. Maybe they were entering the 5000 skymiles and put that in the voucher field also.

Anyway, will be interested if they actually receive the travel voucher.

This is not my voucher or conversation with DL. I dont think DL is going to chase me down for its reps potential error.

That was my immediate thought.

We will see what happens (or not)!

Yeah, unless the machine that generates the email is in cahoots with the machine that generates the credit, I doubt the recipient is getting $5K...but I hope so!

It was probably meant to be $50.00

The small difference a “.” can make

This is not the first time DL has made this mistake.

DL policy on mistakes like this with compensation is generally to say "Enjoy your trip!"
