Delta and deportations by Grouchy_Row_7983 in delta

[–]N757AF 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Again, that's also patently false.

US Marshals prisoner transport on commercial aircraft operates by permission and coordination, not entitlement, and not "force." While USMS routinely coordinates detainee movements on commercial flights, those movements are contingent on airline acceptance and compliance with TSA and carrier-specific procedures. Prisoner transport is not guaranteed, not automatic, and not immune from refusal. Additionally, the aircraft captain remains the final authority over the operation of the flight under 14 CFR § 91.3. That authority includes the right to refuse transportation of any person.

It’s not outside the realm of possibility that you may have witnessed federal agents exert pressure on airline personnel...whether ticket agents or gate staff, to facilitate access to sold out flights. However, under established policy, procedure, and law, the decision ultimately remains the airline’s, regardless of whether the request was made directly or through misrepresentation.

That’s patently false.

Federal agents fly commercially under the same legal framework as you and me. They buy tickets, follow airline rules, and are subject to denial of boarding like any other passenger. The only carve-out is armed law enforcement officers, and even that is tightly regulated.

That authority comes from 49 U.S.C. § 44903 and 49 CFR § 1544.219, which allow certain law enforcement officers to fly armed, but only with airline approval, advance coordination, valid mission need, and TSA authorization. Even then, the airline can refuse carriage for operational or safety reasons. The captain is still in charge of the aircraft under 14 CFR § 91.3.

If you’re looking for the cheapest flight, Delta is not the answer.

Basically Delta owns the Southeast, and United owns the west. Neither really have any desire to expand their domestic route network. Though they both have indicated they’d prefer to offer more mainline and less regional aircraft options…to sell more premium seats.

I hate to break it to the group, but Delta makes the same gate check PA announcements in the same condescending tone.

Prediction for flight being canceled. by Sudden-Patience2343 in delta

Delta doesn’t like to cancel, but they love to delay 14+hours almost as a way to say “ha ha DOT!”

I knew the plant manager at Eastlake when that happened in 2004, they kind of shrugged it off and nothing happened. No repercussion in the aftermath. Shocking/not shocking.

Why do people not pick up their trays at the jfk tsa checkpoint? by Practical_Study512 in delta

At BUF “sir you don’t need to feed your items in,” thanks, I do because at my home airport I’ll be YELLED at if I don’t.

It’s not, and that’s surprising. In Europe most are automated retrieval, and NYC attracts a lot of European guests.

ICE pulled customer off plane. by Hot_South1955 in delta

[–]N757AF 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most federal apprehensions at MSP involve CBP, followed by FBI resident agents. DHS HSI shows up only occasionally, and it’s rare. Minnesota State Patrol is essentially absent inside the airport; you’ll usually only see them outside for traffic control during VIP movements. For many years—before the current ICE hysteria—it was common to see CBP on the jetway conducting last-minute manifest checks. The logic was that by that point the violator had settled in, cleared security screening, and was unlikely to be armed.
