Cherokee's Delta Rants from "Alaska Hawaiian Merger"

My normal response to “why does ticket X cost Y on Z when …” involves “the Dark Side is a pathway to abilities many consider …

sometimes i get it. sometimes i don’t. for example… when buying our Kona tickets for March.

msp-hnl


The msp-hnl leg on both flights was the same a/c. a head scratcher for sure. msp-koa it is.

Kona . . .word association.

Kona coffee is the best. Just reminded me to reorder. Thanks.
 
When did bone-in tomahawk steaks become a thing? I have eaten steak for decades but only the last couple years do I see these massive tomahawk steaks. And to insure against thread drift, why does Delta suck and not include them with steerage fare tickets. Asking for CC.

Salisbury steak is the best cut of steak. Well done.

:)

I think it’s the influencers. They look dramatic but seem like a nightmare to cook correctly

Agreed. The steaks I make that everyone likes are fried in an iron skillet (in garlic butter I make and wine) and I only do that with boneless ribeye and filet. Everything else is outdoors on the fire - the trash cuts like strips, t-bonz and porterhouse.

Seriously though. If I called to say “Hey guys, the internet is limbs akimbo about not understanding the restrictions they agreed to on some of the lowest basic fares and would rather you make an empty promise about seating people together that didn’t bother to read the fine print and press this button before purchasing:”

I’d expect them to interrupt me mid-sentence and say:

“Hey, my guy, the board said something about 60% of the entire US airline’s industry profits and you’re just gonna have to speak louder because I don’t understand what you’re saying, man, I don’t speak broke!”
 
The funny thing is, I watch families get split on every airline. Hell, it happened to my family way back in 1988 on TWA!

Working at the airport I saw it happen all the time way back before seat assignment charges were a thing. Kinda like having mad scrambles to check carry on bags in the jetway because people brought on board too much crap happened daily long before bag charges were also a thing.

The loudest anyone screamed at me because their seats weren’t together was a couple flying to FAI one night when I worked at Alaska. I could write a book about all the annoying passenger shenanigans and unwarranted breakdowns and rage directed at the lowly peons I witnessed over my 15 years in airport customer service, but I’m trying to repress that trauma.

How about the ‘broken jaw’ travelers?

“We’ll have to check your bag and you can pick it up in baggage claim in Chicago”

“But we’re uhh, getting off the aircraft in Denver”

Hidden city ticketing… yuck.

Had a family one night, had bought connecting flights via SLC to LAS planning to ditch the LAS to save $20. The flight to SLC cancelled so we put them on the non-stop to LAS on US Airways. The dad wasn’t listening to me when I explained it the first time that they were now gonna get to Vegas earlier. Comes back and hour later screaming at me that I have him the wrong tickets demanding to know when I was getting him to SLC. Took quite a bit of explaining over his screaming at me that he bought tickets to LAS and my obligation ended at getting him there. I offered to waive the change fee and just charge the fare difference for the next flight to SLC. He declined and instead ended up buying tickets on WN according to the friend I had at the US counter who ended up dealing with him.
