I don’t think he understands that there’s suspicion Ann may have been targeted - if the very people at Delta investigating the incident are also against her, it completely explains their snarky response. It’s not incompetence, it’s hatefulness.
A comedian on the ship figured out what the letters Delta meant. Don't Expect Luggage To Arrive!
I despise Delta.
I drove a few hundred miles so I wouldn’t have to fly Delta.
That written, I have a question about this.
The story says she was moved from an aisle seat to a window seat in the same row, 15.
My understanding is that leg room would be the same in the entire row. The extra legroom seats are usually the seats in the row by the emergency escape windows.
Is this an odd row or is it much ado?
An aisle seat has more legroom. I don’t fly unless I’m on the aisle (tall).
Having ridden Delta in the last month, and bought the premium seat myself....I’m amazed at the screwed-up mess that Delta has put itself into. Once she had the printed-out boarded pass...I can’t see how this got screwed up. Maybe if Delta said their system was compromised or hacked....OK, I could believe that. But so far, they’ve given zero reason for the error. So I’m forced to believe they are incredibly incompetent or just out to screw around Coulter.
Still better than United Airlines
Is that because there is more space between the rows or because the aisle becomes leg space?
I think he gets the possible targeting of Ann-——he wrote this -——————”Take Ann Coulter out of this equation and insert Chelsea Clinton. “
.

Since this involves Ann Coulter I reserve judgment. Ann could be right or this could be getting blown out of proportion.
In any event it does indicate the need to be on the lookout for discriminatory treatment against conservatives and not put up with it — that could have happened here — not sure.
Seats align but not the bulkheads. More leg room on one side than the other.
Then she has a legitimate complaint.
Some of this is caused by the frequent flyer clubs.
The price of a first class seat is worth what, $80?
But the airlines charge hundreds and thousands more.
Very few people would pay that much more for a short flight.
But those first class seats are filled. They are filled by frequent flyers.
I certainly understand the airlines rewarding frequent fliers, but the fact is, for that particular flight, they paid coach fare for a first class seat.
That keeps the price of first class seats exorbitantly high.
Maybe those smart airline CEOs can figure this out.
Ann Coulter believes Delta flap was politically motivated, posts insider info from ‘flight attendant’
I would have been just as pissed.
She paid extra for the seat to get the extra leg room, then they force her to move to a regular seat with no explanation and no refund. And then only after she tweets her complaint do they refund her money but offer no apology, instead bash her.
I would sue them.
The Russians hacked the Delta reservation system.
If it had been a muzzy with a burka, Delta would be in chapter 11 bankruptcy now, with the executives in jail.
“So I’m forced to believe they are incredibly incompetent or just out to screw around Coulter.”
Pretty sure it’s the latter. A couple days after this happened a FReeper posted that his BIL is a Delta pilot. He confirmed that Ann was specifically targeted because of her politics. IIRC, he added that it’s common knowledge among Delta staff. Also, Ann got a message with the same info from a Delta insider.
I fly Delta routinely, they are my carrier of choice. The only time I have seen any issues with flight attendants is when the passenger was being a uncourteous, entitled jerk.
Finally, regarding the cost of first class seats, you know not of what you speak. I'm alone in my heart, and fly almost every week. I typically pay my own upgrade from coach to first, so I don't have to sit in coach. For domestic, It has never been more than $250, and is often less than $100. Overseas flights, onthe other hand, are often quadruple the coach price. Upgrades are only given if the first class fares were not booked.
BTW, I like Ann C for the most part, and agree with much of her analysis and punditry. But I don't know her, and I do know Delta. And Delta has been very very good to me. But not baseball.
Yes I am sure some people would sue over this huge inconvenience. We have become a soft litigious society.
For some folks, those bad knees, folks at risk for SVT, might be more than an inconvenience. Lack of legroom is why I don’t fly anymore. Period.
