Tell me about it. Recently went to scl. Coming back on DL, 767 left about 20 of us stranded. Next day only 3 of us got on. 15 left stranded again. One girl paid $2000 to buy a ticket. Another guy was so upset he kicked the wall and yelled. Other girls crying. The captain talked to me when I was on the plane and said he was fighting with them to send more onto the plane. He asked me if all the active employees got on at least.
I know CAL would show that a number of seats were being held for cargo, but I don't think DL's travenet does that.?
It is very sad to witness.
