Flew internationally a couple of weeks ago, was impressed by people’s mask compliance and Delta’s measures. Flying is safe, everyone, _if_ we all do our part!

Also, got upgraded to Premium Select as a Silver, which was a nice surprise 🥳

Wow! I can’t recall the last time my Silver Medallion friends got upgraded. Congrats!

Nice! I had a noncompliant woman on my flight home Sunday that left her mask off from beverage service until final approach 🙄

Started off the flight by leaning over during the Covid announcement to say "they never warned us about rabies." When I said there wasn't a rabies pandemic and it wasn't spread by breathing, she said "well I'm a biter."

The flight attendant heard me say "if you bite someone, we're both going to get kicked off this flight" and almost lost it.

Also, I've had really good experiences with Silver. If you book strategically, you can be almost guaranteed a Comfort+ upgrade and even occasional first class bumps.

I wasn’t informed of the results and reached out, but the recruiter isn’t replying to my emails. Does this mean I was rejected?

I have a game I love to play at the airport. I find someone who has the most vague resemblance to someone famous and then insist they are that person.

Like "Oh my God, you're Tom Hanks! I love so many of your movies and I think you are great and so funny in interviews. How are you feeling? I heard you had covid?"

Guy who very very vaguely resembles Tom Hanks insists he isn't. Then I keep insisting he is.

This is a fun way to pass time during layovers.
