I’ve been an expat for some 22 years. I usually travel from EWR to SIN. That being said, I do not expect much from RDU to EWR. Sadly to say today However, I had to traverse the US from RDU to LAX via ALT. I got to tell you, the cabin service from ATL to LAX was substandard to that of premium economy of foreign carriers. Again… the cabin crew were very professional, friendly and sympathetic. The video system was intermittent. I observed other videos monitors around my seat. They were segmented as if uploading from Y-tube…. Not a great way to way to attract customers… what do ya think? If I were a jump seater I could not care less… but alas, I was not… I was a full fare customer.

I asked for a package of extra bread sticks. I was told, that only one package per tray was uploaded. Yeah… Delta management must really be proud of their operations.

Cognac??? I’m sorry, as the cabin crew said… “That’s only for international flights”. Delta management must also be really be proud of their operations too.

The odors of the lavs reminded me of a journey from the hotel in Mumbai to the Airport. OOOOOOOO bad memories ewwwww.
Cognac? No. We do, however, serve gin 'n juice.

I'm afraid that there's little money left over for cognac and breadsticks since we've started shipping "starter-generators" for every aircraft to every station.

It is well known,in commisary circles,that renegade kittens are plundering the breadstick stock creating a temporary shortage. Measures are being taken. Not sure about the cognac.....

My company buys tickets to position us for our flights , a lot of tickets.
My last flight on Delta, cost 60 dollars to check bags, and they managed to damage a Luggage Works roll aboard that I checked.
Baggage service response was we don't cover that damage . Inflight service was bad even when compared with AA in their current problems.
Didn't travel in uniform so I was just another paying passenger who was treated like crap.
I didn't expect bread sticks or a drink.
