Default Delta stuck at Aspen for 5 hours -PAX wishing to be on JetBlue

”A Delta Air Lines flight sat on the runway for more than five hours Monday, the longest delay the Aspen/Pitkin County airport director can remember for a fully loaded plane. No Delta representatives were available to explain the wait.”

Where are the vouchers, refunds, volunteer employees, holiday pay for crewmembers, 'Delta Bill of Rights', - check at the JetBlue Forum for details.

Funny, anytime you guys have no logic, reason or arguments to offer, you revert back to the old 'kool aid' thing.
Is that all you have? How sad. Speaks for you.

P.S. I personally prefer the blue Gatorade.

The article didn't say this, but mainline doesn't do Aspen...only SKW with specially-trained crews on a CRJ 700.

Will the media EVER stop reporting that planes sit on RUNWAYS for hours?

Funny, I thought all JetBlue employees were essentially unpaid volunteers.

THIS IS A BASHING THREAD ISN'T IT? That is how it was started, isn't it GMAN?

Give it a rest GMAN. Aspen/Pitkin is only a SPOKE in the Delta system.
1 aircraft out of hundreds. There are probably no real Delta employees in Aspen, probably only contract at best .

Trying to Compare 1 Delta Aircraft sitting in a small Mountain Ski resort airport for 5 hours to the Jet Blue debacle at their main Hub (JFK) is pretty lame.

If you are truly happy at jet blue (good for you), you really shouldn't feel the need to defend yourself. Just keep drinking your blue gatorade.
