Forget PM for life, you should sue them and make them go out of business for this horrible travesty.
You were robbed.

Flexible seat pitch, the seats slide back in tracks w/ pax in between until you can't fit any more in. Lehava: How can we integrate this with the turboprops? It would seem to add a bit of uncertainty to the pax loading.

As long as they don't congregate near the galleys the flight is safe.

It's not zero MQM's, it's 0 M&M's... that's an open mouth, not a "zero", into which you stuff the M&M's. It's a secret indicator of an upcoming enhancement: DL is dumping the Bischoffs this year, and replacing them with M&M's for $1.00 per bag.
(If you buy them with your AMEX you'll earn one MQM for every M&M)
(think of the children, this is better for security, the terrorists won't attack you with Bischoff's any more)

I got tired of referring them to the Urban Legends Reference Pages ....

Here I sit. 8PM New Years Day in the WC in DTW. It looks like the final tie to DL is broken. For me to get CRC for 2006 on DL as GM is 300.00....for WC as PE is 250.00.
Now that cards are interchangable, 50.00 is 50.00.
B' Bye DL it's been a fun ride.
BTW, CRC iin CVG had drinks, pretzels, and more pretzels...WC has big baked cookies, apples carrot sticks, milanos, Biscoffs and drinks

But it still beats sitting out in the concourse.

My Apologies
To my fellow posters. It appears that I offended certain people yesterday by posting my miles zeroing out post in a humorous way (despite there being a host of other "my miles are at zero" posts free standing throughout FT). I sincerely apologize for upsetting your day! Wont happen again. My apologies!

I don't know why that would have offended anyone...Many posts are worse and are left alone. (I almost blew my coffee all ofer my laptop when I read it...I was hoping that Lehava actually came over to the Red Tail.)
To my fellow posters, if you don't have a sense of humor, go to the Hilton or NW forum.
To Lehava, and others who feel persecuted here, don't be thin skinned. Say what you want and leave your posts (good, bad or ugly) hanging in the breeze for all to see. That's what the FT Community is all about...

I am persecuted here. On a regular basis. By everybody -- including you and Lehava.
In fact, I have long thought that persecuting me was the main purpose of the entire Delta Forum.
Fortunately, as a confirmed masochist, I love it!
