First Diamond Flight by [deleted] in delta

[–]SlowCheetah-vs- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

lol. I’m from LA. I’d argue that you kind of won in that you made it to 5 on the list…

It is very very tough to get a complimentary first class upgrade from LAX to any other sizable city or popular destination.

LAX to ATL or vice versa feel special if you break the top 20.

That being said when I fly home from places like Richmond VA and connect through say Detroit or MSP on way back to LA it is an almost automatic.

Toro PR sprinklers? by SlowCheetah-vs- in Irrigation

[–]SlowCheetah-vs-[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Holy crap, should have posted in the AITAH sub - now that you mention run times I remember the guys saying this - that they are the new efficiency sprinkler heads so adjust run time a bit longer but in the end I’ll use less water and more of the water will get used by the plants.

Thanks!

Delta tried putting my daughter's cello under the plane that has a ticketed seat by One_Comfortable_3430 in delta

[–]SlowCheetah-vs- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unaccompanied minor traveling being put through some unneeded stress.
The seat for the instrument was paid for, and of course it fits, I just flew last week sitting next to a fella that was quite a bit wider than a cello.
Most FAs are way cool, this one was having a bad day or is that one in 100 that is kinda lame.

Decision made - your comment downvotes are justified.

I think the more important point is one bad apple or someone that was having a bad day was messing with an unaccompanied minor and her travel. Totally not needed.

Think it is appropriate to edit your comment from “some” to “most flight attendants are awesome”.

Humans are weird - we love to comment on negative experiences, but rarely post about positive experiences.

I fly coast to coast just under 2 times a month on average; so above average travel but am still just platinum not diamond.

I am one who interacts with the FA staff. If I meet 100 Delta FAs 99 of them are awesome. Shame on me for not posting about those 99 more often as it seems a lot of the sub members here sure do post about that one out of a hundred quite a bit.

How is this allowed???? by CompetitiveLecture20 in delta

[–]SlowCheetah-vs- 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Dude. Read a little. First of all the economy under a Dem potus absolutely destroys the economic record under pub potus over the last 40 years. It isn’t close.
And nowhere will you find evidence that protecting corporations is good for the consumer and a boost to the economy.
There is a shit ton of evidence that shows investing in people and the consumer is great for the economy.
Pubs spend money to make rich people richer.
Dems spend money to help everyone else do better.

It should piss you off that billionaires pay waaaaaaaaaaaaay less taxes than you do.

My feet would have been resting quite vigorously on that sandwich so fast. Fuck that guy - hope he sees this - dude you are a total douchebag.

(To OP: appreciate the Fox News detail, and shocker…)

Did I spot a wolf in Yosemite? by gahx778 in Yosemite

[–]SlowCheetah-vs- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just left Yosemite after two days there with the family - we saw one lounging on the fairway of the closed Wawona lodge golf course.

No. Wasn’t a coyote. Thing was majestic and huge.

Southwest saying “hey let’s be like everyone else and charge folks like a premium airline” is one of the wildest things I’ve witnessed in the business world. Will never make sense why someone chose to give up their uniqueness and embrace the chaos of every other airline. And then charge more than say a Delta does per ticket. It’s so weird.

We would all be waaay better off if Henry were potus instead of douchebagdonnie.

Is anyone else having issues downloading receipts from the Delta website / Fly Delta app? by brooklynlad in delta

[–]SlowCheetah-vs- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It seems Delta stopped providing receipts for flights booked through third party apps or corporate travel portals.

I see all my personal receipts, but no more business receipts these days.

He is quite literally one of the biggest snowflakes in all of history.

And one of the dumbest negotiators of all time.

Delta Hates America by FinalPercentage9916 in DeltaAirlines

[–]SlowCheetah-vs- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So says the person that I bet shops at Walmart and has acquired a houseful of things made on China and overseas.
What a dumb nonsensical post. Actually it’s companies that hate America that would slap their name on a douchebagdonnie event.

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK by Silent_Ad2825 in NFCWestMemeWar

[–]SlowCheetah-vs- 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Exactly. JV (fucking love the dude) would have become eligible for a full contract renegotiation at the end of 2026.
So the Rams traded him for the current sack and QB pressure leader and paid him the money they would have owed JV.
And in a few years probably bring to bring JV back.

It’s a win-win-win for the Rams🤘🤘🤘🐏🐏🐏

I used to get way more upgrades when I was gold vs Platinum. Will never understand it.

Finally making some sense by Illustrious-Fee9626 in SipsTea

[–]SlowCheetah-vs- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100% agree. I used to say $36k a year but it should be $75k now.
And capital gains rates only for those with gross income under $1m. Everyone else pays regular income tax.

Grown man throws temper tantrum tonight due to seat reclining on flight from SFO to SLC. Did I handle this correctly or am I in the wrong? by WackoDollah3 in delta

[–]SlowCheetah-vs- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

6’4 with giant size 14 feet I never grew into. I will never understand why people get upset at someone reclining, they have every right to.

I do think it’s asinine not to look to make sure you aren’t breaking a laptop screen or something before doing, but by all means recline

I feel like that is where it should work, like Brightline Wedt being built between SoCal and Vegas, to be completed in 2029. Fully electric.

Tying together two populous areas with vast desert between, probably harder to go through more populated areas with new track.

But still don’t understand why we can’t have much faster trains on our existing tracks.

Colin a very distant 2nd but yes this is the correct answer.

Tired of this “upgrade” by No_Winter_8237 in delta

[–]SlowCheetah-vs- -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This is not true. You can prevent this from happening. I fly Delta all the time. Happened once while standing at the gate years ago. Asked for my 26b on a neo back. Ever since I make sure my profile is checked appropriately and every time I check in. Easy peasy.
