For what it's worth, my initial post above was trying to make the point that an unaccompanied minor doesn't HAVE an accompanying adult. Then I read delta's UM policy on their website, and presented my findings with an edit of my post (which is what you quoted, after said edit.)
I did expect that to be taken down but since you memorialized it in a quote... I admit I'm not great at trolling. We, as pilots, tend to overthink things and respond overly conservatively was my point.

Did I read that right? You would refuse to fly your assigned trip home if your kid's plan didn't work out? That kind of extortion sounds like you could get yourself fired don't you think? That's exactly why our company policy forbids working crewmembers from accompanying minors.
