Talk About a CRAPPY Delta Flight!

[zkmayo]

Hey General,

While were on the topic of bad flights and dragging airlines through the mud, my brother's flight on mother Delta never got off the ground last week in Paris bc the captain took the turn onto the runway too fast and ran it into the grass in CDG. They had to return to the gate, get put on a AF flight to IAD (instead of the direct flight to ATL) and then connect on Mesa to ATL and arrive 8 hours later. Compensation, none. Apologies, none.

May 6, Flight 21. Maybe he should sue for $2mil too.

Come on now........lets not be too hard on those guys. They've got a lot of distractions going on right now and the best method to ram it to the NWA pilots takes a lot of concentration.

Word has it, the captain thought he saw a NWA MEC member in the grass and tried to run him over.

Dear General Dip$********************,

Here was my Delta experience last summer aboard your beloved 757. Shorlty after takeoff from ATL dirty smelling water began pouring out of the overheard panel and dripping on everybody in my row and 3 rows behind me. I thought by the smell it was from the air conditioning system because we took a delay and sat on the ground for over an hour in the middle of summer. I rang the FA call button because we were less that 10000 feet. The FA comes back and I asked her to bring all of the pax paper towels so we could clean ourselves up. In typcial Delta fashion she says you have to wait until the captain turns off the seat belt sign. Forget the fact that everybody is soaking wet in 3 rows around me. On the descent somebody screams and we find out the smell was water was from a cooler of live crawfish in the overhead that turned over. Now several crawfish had fallen out of the overhead and were running loose in the cabin. Did your beloved Delta cabin crew do anything. NO, the just acted as if nothing was wrong.

I would take sitting in the Lav any day over going into terminal 2 or 3 in JFK. The lav smells much better than your terminal. You see Delta has things happen too. Maybe me and the passenger should have sued Delta for millions for being subjected to sitting in dirty crawfish water for 2 hours and being told we would have to wait until the Captain turns off the seatbelt sign to clean ourselves up. GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE AT BIG D. I'LL TAKE MY BLUE CHIPS ANYDAY.

Delta really struggles to keep their jets on paved surfaces. Looks like the company doesn't care too much about this (for the price they're paying the pilots, I guess the figure that you get what you pay for). Only Delta's upcoming liquidation will fix this carelessness.

Maybe I should sue all of you for being children...relax guys, with this industry sinking to the level it has, customer service has gone down with it. If we're going to sue each other for bad service, none of us would have a job! Let's all do what we can to change the way things are going...

Hey Flamebait--Maybe you should put the bottle down and step away from the keyboard.

• How did the liquid get thru security?
• Is the Captain supposed to violate FAA and Company rules to allow you to possibly injure yourself by allowing you to aimlessly wander about the cabin?
• Why am I replying to your jibberish?

You may now pick up your broom and finish sweeping out the crew room.

I always joked about when a poor guy is all excited to be leaving Russia and heading to the US. He boards his Delta jet in Moscow and rides 10 hours. When he gets off at JFK and proceeds through the JFK terminal, he is totally confused. He thinks he is still in Moscow.

You mean kind of like the eagle pilots did by screwing over the AMR pilots by trying to steal the MD 80 flying for $80/hr? 80's for 80 ****************************** bag!
Heck, even your sister charges more per hour!

Relax Johnnyboy, that wasn't crawfish water, just your breath blowing back in your face!:laugh:

This is a ridiculous post. Sure, all airlines suffer from bad service experiences. Anyone recall Valentine's Day at JFK a few years back? How many JB blunders were there? Too many to count. DAL's service has declined as well (probably due to the high proportion of super-old FAs) - so, it ain't immune from customer service gaffes as well. All airlines are cutting back on service levels.

If the JB story with the lav pax is really true (it has not been confirmed), then that shows a major judgement-related mistake by the PIC. This is not the same as a typical customer-service issue. We are talking apples and oranges in this case.

By the way, hopefully people caught GL's pun - "crappy" was a reference to the lavatory if I understood it correctly.
