One more reason not to fly Delta. I have not heard anything positive about them since they went bankrupt the last time, and that was their bankruptcy.

I find myself having to deal with Delta probably 5-6 times a month for various maintenance related issues. It is typically unpleasant. As a general rule I try to avoid flying Delta, and it's free for me.

Retired Army Lt. Col. Keith Gafford, who was also on the flight, told the Post that two first-class passengers offered to switch seats with Brown before takeoff. This request, Gafford said, was rejected by the flight attendant. Gafford described the crew as being as “hard as woodpecker lips.”

This is usually because if the plane crashes and they have little to ID the bodies, they'll refer to where people were sitting to try and identify the remains. Once the door closes and things are getting on their way, this isn't supposed to happen.

That's not true. I've been on plenty of half-full flights where people are allowed to switch seats/rows. Sometimes people get asked to move for weight/balance issues. No body is tracking that John Smith went from seat 2c to seat 13b or vice versa, all anyone cares about is shifting his weight aft or forward.

I fly literally hundreds of thousands of miles every year. No all the airlines are sh1t, but United and Delta are the ghetto sh1twagons of the sky, hands down.

Air Canada is ok.
Singapore Air fvcking RULES.
Virgin Atlantic is good.
British Air is good.
Southwest fvcking RULES. I wish they flew international.

You've admitted in your list they are better. Domestic carriers have faced consolidation and there's protectionism (cabotage) so they can be a lot worse without worrying about fair/free competition.

domestically, Southwest and Alaska are the better of the bunch. I have to say Alaska was first rate in helping me fly an 85 year old woman with dementia from Seattle to Oakland. It probably helped that we had first class seats and I was in my EMT uniform but the crew was great to work with.

If you're in the business of providing passenger transport, you should have to honor a round trip ticket barring an exceptional change in circumstance.
