hugmeI am now going to refer to Delta as Eastern II... remember Eastern? where the staff would rather spit on you than do their job? Delta has gotten that bad... seriously...
ok, so the ticket counter line at laguardia is 30 minutes long. There are terminals for the automatic ticketing, they look like they work but they are all roped off. So we go through the line and finally get to the counter. The lady is an absolute bitch, seriously, reads us the riot act for not using the automatic ticketing system (which did I mention was roped off?) fine, what ever. so then we wait in line for security. we get up to the front and this TSA bitch doesn't like my bag and demands that I put it in the little bag measuring thing they have. it fits except for about 1/2 inch of the wheels. so she says she won't let us in and I have to check it. so we go back to the delta counter. and stand next to the line (because we already went through this) this ass hole who works for delta asked what we are doing, I tell him what happens and he says we need to wait in the 30 minute line again. I try to explain to him what went on and he just starts talking over me telling me to get in line.
So we go all the way to the back of the line. we wait another half hour and the to the ticket booth where the SAME asshole is standing there. I hand him my bag and my ticket. he looks at me and says "oh, you have to use the automatic ticket machine, then go to the back of the line again" oh bullshit... fucking bullshit.. I start yelling at the asshole letting him know that we did what HE told us to do. so finally he says "ok, use the machine right here and then come right back to this desk." which we did, then got back in the security line... I was so pissed of when I got on the plane...
once we got on the plane they pulled onto the runway and we sat there for 40 minutes... watched lines of other planes take off just fine. then the captain came on and said "sorry, we have been delayed from take off because of strong winds. if you look to the left you will see the crests forming on the water due to the wind turbulence"
I just saw a line of 20 or so Cessna's take off and 5 or so twin prop plans.... we are in a fucking FULL 767. A wide body plane with 3X the wingspan and you are going to give me a bullshit line about wind?!?! what kind of shit is that?
yeah, tired of it... I think I have 40,000 or so flight miles with delta, I don't even think it's worth cashing them in any more. This weekend I am going to start seriously looking for a school to finish my license. Maybe I will start my own private airline then.... the "friends of hugme" airlines...
oh, I forgot to mention... Delta's planes are not falling out of the sky so at least we know that![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)

Unbeknownst to you, someone had transported you to the DMV off Confederate Ave....
