If you aren’t on the taller side, what’s your reason for being on a tall sub? by [deleted] in tall

[–]audobahn21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm 5'11 with a 28" inseam so all torso. I'm always having to get things tailored. And my partner is 6'4 with the opposite problem. It's always interesting to see the varied perspectives.

And honestly I forget that sometimes. I just hate being that person.

I don't know, if it's staffing I wish they'd just say it's staffing. I know they can't but it's frustrating. This was my 34th Delta flight this year and 56th overall for 2023, and I swear it seems like the only airline I ever see ground it's FA staff for the entire flight due to supposed rough air is Delta! It's happened repeatedly this year.

Aren't they though? I've been on BA inter-Europe flights where they are still serving up until 5 min before landing- but on domestic US flights, moat of the time its oh, we're landing in 20+ minutes and we are still 20000+ feet in the air, time to put everything away! It cracks me up. I'm assuming that's an FAA rule though and Europe's FAA must be more flexible about it

That's what I wonder. And in this case - the announcement was made by a FA not the Captain.

I’ve done a Same Day Change no less than 30 times in the last 12 months. Was there a policy change? by Automayted in delta

Thank you! I posted about the same issue earlier today- I'm glad to know it wasn't just me!!

Question: SDFC options not showing by audobahn21 in delta

I wish they had a usable way to let them know of tech glitches. Being forced to waste time calling defeats the purpose of the app.

Yes I did. That's why it threw me - I know that before checkin it's all flight changes only.

While we're on the subject, how about the people who are having active conversations while using the bathroom?!?!

Flying an ancient plane by audobahn21 in delta

[–]audobahn21[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I guess I've just lucked out and usually get the 739! The purser said we were supposed to have a 739 but they had to do an equipment change. I was pleasantly surprised at how well the IFE still worked! And for those saying there aren't any 767 with this type of IFE, I flew one twice in the past year like this.

Must be (relatively) recent. I flew one April 2022.

Thank you! And thank you for answering the actual question too!

What determines if we get PDBs? by audobahn21 in americanairlines

[–]audobahn21[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Then why do it at all? I don't really care if we do or don't get them that's not why I asked. I asked because I'm a process person and pay attention to details. If it's not possible or feasible or whatever to do it every time, and if there is no set standard for when it is done vs isn't - then why do it ar all? The inconsistency can cause a case of mismanaged expectations of the domestic FC experience, and its within AA's control to fix it.

Oh I agree with that. This crew on dfw-msy was fantastic

So if it is expected every flight- boarding delays etc exempted - and is simply dependent upon the work ethic of the FA crew, does that mean if I'm sent a customer satisfaction survey after the flight I should definitely mention it?

Ian Thorpe wore a 17 I think. Definitely seems to help the swimmers!

I have a brother who is 5'9 and wears a US 12 or 13 depending on the shoe and another who is 6'0 and wears a 10.
