I did assume that, but for all I know there could be a Canarsie, Georgia! I remember the old LL (Canarsie Line) fondly -- not! http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/biggrin.gif

I knew that I detected a South Brooklyn accent. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

Yo, Rssrsvp, whaddya talkin' about? Yo, wha's your problem? Ya wanna make sump'in about it???

Believe it or not, I never develop a Brooklyn accent nor a Southern accent. When they hear me talk, most people guess incorrectly that I am from the Midwest for some reason.

Today it is known as the L line (although still the Canarsie line or 14th Street line, but still a local train), and I spent many a year on that line to go to school and to work. As far as I know, there is only one Canarsie.

I did not mean to help derail this thread, but we railly need to get back on track before the moderators tie one over on us. After all, we are supposed to be discussing planes, not trains.

I do have one question, in all seriousness: when a thread is locked, I noticed that sometimes the icon is a lock over a yellow folder, and sometimes the icon is a lock is over an orange folder. Is there a difference between the two icons and, if so, what?

I think that the different colored locked threads parallel the different colored unlocked threads: The ones with new postings since you last entered FT are yellow; older ones are blue. Something similar for locked (but I can't recall which is which).

I think this thread should now serve as a reminder of what needs to be moderated. Is there anything aside from flying Delta that hasn't been discussed in this thread? http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/biggrin.gif

Well ........ coff, seeing you mentioned it, I'd like the take this opportunity to place an unashamed free plug for the finest and most flame free and un-moderated Forum on all of Flyertalk. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/wink.gif

No moderator analysis, no fighting fund, no upgrade discontent, no posts about delayed or late flights, no union problems. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

Come and visit the most ** FRIENDLY FORUM ** on FlyerTalk. No flame wars, no personal abuse, no substance abuse. Not much of anything really!

All of a sudden, I am in the mood for Vegemite for some unknown reason.

Yes, ozstamps, I do have it here, as I brought it back from the Ayer's Rock (Uluru) region. And yes, I do like it, especially on French bread. However, I would advise eating it in moderation. Just trying to stick to the topic instead of spreading to other topics.

Wait, this has to have something to do with Delta, according to FrequencyFlyer, so....

It is a shame Delta does not fly to Australia nor has a partner that conveniently flies to Australia directly from the United States.

I concur! Australia would be an excellent destination for Delta. Can a 763ex make it that far though?

Not without stopping along the way (or flying empty!).

Not with me in it thank you .... ;-)

Anyone care to continue the tipping discussion without trekking over to OMNI?

The poster said in his title that it was off topic, which I thought was fair enough. And also, he did make a parallel to tipping DL FAs.

Rsssvp and others, we have gone for several years without moderators to keep the board in line, very successfully in the opinions of most. There are occ duplicate threads, but usually one lives and one dies. There are folks who post their US Air issues here, but so what? It is more dangerous to have a small group deciding what is the best for all, even if they do it in good faith and even if they act in concert. And we thank you for all taking the group's collective feelings, although by no means unamimous, into account.

RobertS975, are you Taunton our poor moderators again???

A gratuitous statement upon which to billd, andymo99. I am sure someone will feel free to tip their hat to it.

I apologize if I have changed the subject. To coin a phrase, I know I am going to eventually pay for this...

Gee, RobertS975, if I had known that my little question was going to ruin your entire day, I definitely would have refrained from asking it here! http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/wink.gif

FWIW, first, I did throw in a reference to DL in my original question. Second, I wanted input from the people that I interact with daily here on the DL board -- my FT "friends", if you will -- whose opinions I value. Third, although the case itself was airline-specific, the deeper question was more general; namely, what was the CSR's responsibility for making me aware of the rules when I first called before the scheduled departure time? Fourth, as proof of your "survival of the fittest" theory (which I agree with, BTW), the thread has all but died out. Fifth and last, I have no objection to a moderator closing the thread; then I can finally feel that I have earned my FT "stripes"! http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/biggrin.gif
