Nothing reminds me why I only fly Delta like flying American. A serious and heartfelt apology to those of you who endure this regularly...

What’s so wrong with American?

@C2 I guess I’ve also been lucky in my 8 years flying with AA (I can count the number of multiple-hour delays and cancellations on two hands), but I recognize that people’s experiences can vary a lot depending on which airport you’re flying out of. I just haven’t been able to get over my bad experience with early 2010s Delta, which was unquestionably bad at the time.

AA is the last US carrier with First Class. I agree they suck overall though.

Well I will continue to happily fly in Delta’s “fake” first class over AA any day!

Delta rules... big gap with all the rest.

I flew American from LAS>MCO. Snarky lady didn’t believe I was in the right line- “yes ma’am, I have Gold status”. No upgrade. No screen to watch movies/shows and no where to charge my phone. I would rather fly Delta as silver...

AA's status (name) inflation is out of control lol. I love how Gold on AA is equivalent to Bronze on BA, a tier which didn't even exist pre-Avios.

For expert witnesses/lawyers

I’m a former forensic scientist that left the field several years ago. I recently received a subpoena from a case I worked and suggested to DA to have evidence re-worked by the lab or stipulation. If I am required to testify (as an expert witness), I would need to book a flight, hotel, etc. My question is this: can I ask for my requested hourly rate, travel, and hotel to be covered when speaking with DA or is that “not how this works” as the investigator put it?
