Is it even legal to block out with Mx still working on the plane with what I assume is an open Mx write up? I'm not sure how Delta handles it but my companies would never let us block out with Mx working on something. A lot of details are missing, but it's expected with a sensational article.

Flight attendant duty hours are often laid out in a union contract. Delta flight attendants are not unionized, although the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers is trying to organize them, as well as the company’s ramp agents.

Huffpo? My god. I can't believe Delta even had to respond to that.
I've posted plenty of stupid oofda on the internet that I regret, but nothing on the smell or quantity level that Huffpo produces on a daily basis.
(See: "Huffpo editorial meeting" picture. It's as if every bitter jilted girlfriend and angry ex-wife got together around a table to make up stuff about you. (well, some of it's probably true) Plus, they're all using macs, for gods sake.)

I understand WHY Delta had to respond. I just can't believe that every random post some nutter[s] post on the interwebs can have the same impact as, say, the NYT or a 3 day expose produced by the Miami Herald.
Crazy times.
