I add co workers to that list.

You First. Your letter of resignation would get more attention than your "private" letter telling Delta how you would run New York.

Never stated any of those things. Do you intend to lie and exaggerate, or do you really not know the difference?

Sounds to me like he got his gas trimmer back from the guy who does his landscaping.

Just joking. I think he has one, or some, sailboats. I'd guess it relates to that business.

8) "Well, whatever, ftb. Next month, put my employee number in your default too".

9) "Really!? You love Southwest Airlines"?

and finally,

10) "What do you mean, 'gladiator movies'?"

You said that aiming the gasper back would cover your fart, but I smell the inside of you dying.

... you're going to get seriously bent over.

And when they decide to charge you the "change fee" of $150/ticket instead of the cancel fee they promised would apply if $29 per ticket, and just give you a credit towards some future flight instead of the actual refund as promised, don't even THINK about questioning them.

And if you even TRY to discuss it and bring up the fare rules and pamphlets linked to the Fly for Less page to support that you should get your $1900 back as promised when you bought the "refundable" tickets, which you wisely printed to be sure you could get the promised refund, you're going to get threatened with having your Non-rev privileges being revoked.

Last time I EVER try to fly on Delta for $$, or try to give them my business. That 20% "savings" as an employee was the most expensive ticket I never used in my life, and getting threatened by a ticket agent to shut up and take the loss was just unbelievable. NOT a huge fan of my company just now.

Hey Roadkill, I got a text from a buddy that uses these tickets frequently and reads the boards.

Was the problem that these were backup's to a family vacation? As in, buy the ticket and then if able to nonrev cancel them?

And were they refundable tickets that were bought for less?

The US is in almost as bad shape. Jet fuel is near historic highs.
We have no one on furlough. No furloughs are being discussed. We might even hire this winter. We are going to be expanding the mainline fleet. I fly on jumpseats all the time with regionals. Every single time they want to know how to get hired at Delta. Given the world situation and where most airlines are at these days there is a reason they want to go to Delta.

World economic collapse? Sky high jet fuel?

come on now, I thought we were about to grow!?
