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
Personal responsibility can sometimes come off as harsh. It would not be possible for me to pack a suitcase under the assumption that others would carry it for me. Impossible. But that's because I make my own decisions and abide by the consequences thereof.
Your characterization of this as people unwilling to help is an insult to the concept of help. Help is there for those who
cannot do for themselves...not for those who
will not.
