I’m at the gate in dfw. Delta is making a spectacle which is fine. I tried to post these earlier and they don’t seem to have worked. Apologies if I double post!

I’m sure they’re being very careful not to oversell the flight and “surprise and delight” any standby passengers.

After all, these flights are just printing money for Delta. Can you think of a higher grossing $/pax for a mid haul domestic flight?

i had an agent check on Saturday afternoon and told me the flight is oversold.
right now I see quite a few empty seats. Just canceling mine

For those who are on the flight, I have a huge favor to ask.

Little back story, I run a non-profit in the Dominican Republic helping under resourced children. I am trying to get these kids interested in scheince we have a weather station etc. But would be really cool if someone on this flight can take some pictures and give me permission to use them to teach the kids.

A lot of the kids here, their parents and religious leaders are telling them that the world is ending and the sky will be dark (even though down in the DR not so much) because of their sins etc. So I want to teach them the science behind it.

absolutely
