Delta kicked 50 passengers off flight

[Kev3188]

What were you saying about threads going off topic a couple of days ago?

Can you remind us what any of this has to do with the topic?

Here's some key subjects you can use for a tie in:

*Expressjet
 
*T-day
 
*Funerals
 
*Meetings
 
*The drive to ATL
 
*The GNV airport
 
*Driving to funerals
 
*The relative performance of the current DCI carriers
 
*CRJ's- any of the 3 variants will do.
 
*The Florida Gators
 
*Bob McAdoo (Either one. Get creative)

I didn't decide to take the thread on a religious detour.

But since it was, I will say that the notion that any of the monotheistic religions features a friendly little pushover for a leader that doesn't act when it is necessary to do so is false. Many polytheistic religions have similar values.

Specific to the topic, I said at the beginning that I don't think this was a great call... but you acknowledged it does happen, that there is no claim on any aircraft by any flight - charter or not - and that sometimes tough calls have to be made.

We still don't know who made the call.... but since it wasn't DL operating the flight, I strongly suspect that it wasn't their decision but perhaps they were in on it.

The DL brand did take a hit.... but other than the 50 passengers on the plane that were inconvenienced but did receive some compensation, the only people that seem to want to keep dwelling on the subject are those on aviation internet forums who want to throw in all kinds of other issues, including religion.

WWJD?

Avoid flying EV?

Smite their OCC?

Root for UConn?

...But you didn't resist temptation to keep going off track either, did you?

Tough calls, sure. Wrong calls? No. IMO, this was a case of the latter.

My $$$'s on EV.

Well yeah. Discussing (or "dwelling") on aviation topics is the raison d'etre of this board, is it not?

I'll take 1 and 3, Alex.

2 is, uh, not something someone should do.

I'd figure we'd come to agreement on a thing or two eventually.

Now on to peace in the Middle East... we can start with western/ Middle East aviation interests.

I can really see why this board only has a handful of posters.  Personal attacks back and forth allowed? really?
Very hard to have a constructive thread when the same usual suspects go back and forth personally.  I can actually
stay away for months only to come back and see NOTHING has changed.    Why the mods don't have any rules concerning 
personal attacks is beyond me....

This is a pro-labor site..... the conversation on here quite accurately reflects the labor environment that exists at most unionized US airlines.


Thank you for helping validate why the vast majority of DL employees have no interest in the labor movement.

It also explains why thousands of PMNW people bailed on the labor movement when they had the chance.

I've been struggling for quite some time to get some people on here to be willing to admit they are wrong and ask for forgiveness. Not many takers.... but I do it anyway.

So you're Jesus?

 

[WorldTraveler]

and you drew that conclusion how?

 

[blue collar]

I didn't draw a conclusion. That's why I asked

 

[WorldTraveler]

then the answer is no.

since you quoted the comment about forgiveness, does that mean that forgiveness is not something that normal human beings do?

.... perhaps including those who experienced an inconvenience such as having a flight cancelled?

we had some on here suggest that the cancellation might be grounds for a lawsuit. Is that forgiveness?

No it doesn't.

And even if it did, it wouldn't explain your shameful conduct on this site.

BTW, what happened to your pious chatter about staying on topic? How does yet another ad hominem attack on organized labor directly tie in with EV's bungled operational decision?

 

[WorldTraveler]

when you demonstrate ire even half the ire at others for their comments as you do for me, then I'll take you seriously.

The comments from a DL FA are absolutely accurate and they highlight the contentious labor environment that exists in the airline industry and which transfers to conversations on this site.

I'm not really expecting a light to go off in your head now but that is precisely why DL people aren't interested in the labor movement.


please tell me that you are proud of your conduct on here. Proud enough to post under your own name? I am absolutely certain you aren't anywhere close to that proud.

We found common ground regarding the need to have handled the flight cancellation situation better despite the fact that you say (and I know you are correct) that this kind of thing does happen....

I suppose on other issues, undoubtedly the ones that matter a whole lot more to you, we will have to differ....

someday you might come to see the light. We can only pray.

 

[Force Majeure]

when someday you might come to see the light. We can only pray.

There is that condescending, narcissistic, ass that all here have grown to dismiss.

A man of god you are far from. Standing above a flock and talking down to them does not a minister make.

You could probably learn a great deal from the minions if you opened your eyes, ears, and arms.

 

[Kev3188]

Oh please. You realize you perpetuate what you decry, right?

More do as I say, not as I do?
 

Proud enough to post under your own name?

We've covered that. "Kevin" is already taken as a user name.

BTW, when will you be changing your user name to reflect the one on your license?

That's what I thought.
