4) To say goodbye to the gate agents and thank them for what they do...
The only way you could tell if there were any dispatchers trying to jump is well they dont really have a uniform, they just dress business casual with their id lanyard and passport.

Despite the video title, it's not a Delta pilot. It's hard to make what he's saying, but it basically looks like he isn't getting on the flight.

1:42 "this is frustrating, I've never left you guys behind when you're in the back"

3:52 "that's an MD80, right? "No, that's an Airbus." and then more arguing, with her finally saying "I'm just trying to do my job."
10 to 1 that this is Delta "weight restricted" BS issues we have all experienced. BS gets a pilot to act this way. "I've never left guys behind when there are seats in the back".

Personally a Delta agent blocked me from taking one of many many wide open seats due to weight restrictions on a 3 hour A320 flight with no need for an alternate or enroute deviation. Maybe a motor was broke.
The other guy gave the agent a little attitude but I walked away. The Delta pilot that did make the weight cut said "good luck"...captain didn't come up.

If it was SLC with high temps and one of the old A320’s not only possible but probable. They are weight restricted all the time.

A free seat is a free seat, I fail to see how you can claim a ‘right’ to what is a privilege.

The video poster wrote EWR-ATL.

I tend not to believe the stories that aren’t really believable

And there is this from the new Mommy,

“Bala says she was “beyond infuriated," at the flight attendant's response. She purchased in flight WIFI for $28.99, so she could air her grievances in real time on her Facebook page. ”


I’m sure we heard an exact recap of events.
