Seems a little against the Delta company culture. I CAN do it but it is hard and usually takes me awhile blocking the aisle, so it is always greatly appreciated when someone lends a hand.

I can do the emergency exit no problem...pulling a 40 lb door out is a lot easier than hoisting a bag above your head.

One thing I really like about Delta is that their employees usually seem to go out of their way to help eachother as well as passengers
I have no problem helping any customer with their bag, but it makes me a little mad when a flight attendant packs more in her bag than she can lift. And expects a pilot to help her with her bag, which I have had happen to me. That is where I draw the line.
