It was the first time I got a chance to visit the cockpit since usually only Million milers, Delta 360s or kids do, but I chickened out. I liked the in-person pilot briefing format, though. Is that a new thing? Or maybe I don't know because I recently status-matched to Delta.

The captain briefed C+ pax as well. The boarding was completed early, so this approach didn't waste any time. In fact, we arrived 20 minutes early.

Is this some weird natural immunity fad of not washing hands after pooping or peeing? Within a span of minutes at Universal resorts' restrooms, you'd encounter many who don't wash their hands. And this trend transcends racial demographics, so no need to be racist. Anyway, my point is that visiting Universal will make you aware of this weird phenomenon. Hopefully, Universal kitchen staff is not into this nonsense.

Might wanna consider using hand towels/tissues to use door handles touched by them. The Mythos restaurant Men's restroom doesn't even have a trash can close to the door but I succeeded at throwing a paper towel ball into a trash can far away from the door while keeping the door open with my shoes.

Why is DL2789 from SFO -> MSP delayed every Saturday?

I couldn't complete the Cascade Canyon trail in June (had to catch my flight), so I'm coming back. Would it still be lush green next week (as per the annual trend)? Thanks

What written proof are GAs supposed to provide when they run out of hotel vouchers & ask people to book hotels themselves & submit documentation for reimbursement? Y'all ask to get written proof but does AA have any established procedures for generating such IOU letters? What do such letters look like? Thanks!

A rude UPS driver didn't give me my UPS Next Day Air package. He left within a few seconds of knocking at my door. I followed him outside & he pretended to not listen, kept walking & loaded the package back in his UPS truck right in front of me. Then he took out another package, delivered it, came back & asked me to sign for my package without taking it out from his UPS truck. Because of his behavior, I could tell he had no intention of removing the package from the truck, so I asked him to remove the package from his truck before I'd sign for the delivery & he drove away. He falsely changed the status of the shipment to "Delivery refused".

I had generated the UPS shipping label myself, so I'm both the shipper & the recipient.

The package has perishable items (frozen food), which will get spoiled because of your employee.

I opened a Delta Platinum card again but turns out I actually need Delta Reserve.

Would closing a new card be held against me even if I don't get any bonus?

Thanks

Carriers may have weak internal processes that they don't wanna rejig. Customers may suffer because of the status quo.

Carrier execs have housekeepers at their houses who accept packages on their behalf. At their office, they have a mailroom.

They won't learn what it's like to have to trash packages with stuff such as spoiled food or destroyed stuff, but at least their housekeeper will tell them about it. Do it only once because although sending "free gifts" is legal, repeating it may come across as harrassment.

Pirate Ship doesn't mention in their terms that their UPS 2nd Day Air or UPS 1 Day Air doesn't have a delivery guarantee (what's the point of the service names, then?) If you have had a bad experience with them regarding non-disclosure, please complain to the FTC. Or we could initiate a class-action lawsuit against it as we'd be class representatives.

Was flying Flagship First from JFK -> SFO on a red-eye (from ET time zone point-of-view).

I'm a teetotaler but was very absent-minded that day (first week of June). First, I thought I lost my phone. I heard it being thrown around during takeoff. After we gained cruising altitude, the FAs also helped look for it & even took apart the seat. It was in the overhead bin (was not in a bag). That wasn't embarrassing enough. I didn't know the value of recognition certificates, so I only gave one each. I should've looked it up. :(

When the meal service started, I wasn't even using my reading light because I'm very reticent IRL & suffer from extreme social anxiety (which made me buy Flagship First upgrades). There was bright light coming from the IFE screen, though. After setting up the tray-table, the FA turned on the reading light when she returned with the meal. She came back to take the tray away & another time to bring dessert, and then to clear the tray-table. After I turned off the reading light & resumed the movie I had on, only then did I notice that my jeans was unzipped this whole time, and the zipper must've looked weird, as it must've been in the line-of-sight of the FA, since it was close to one end of the tray table (after it was pulled out sideways towards me). I had gone to the lavatory earlier & had forgotten to zip up my jeans!!!

Have you ever had a streak of embarrassing incidents while flying? Anyway, the insight you gleaned from this post is to watch out for your jeans'/pants' zipper.

If Iran wants nukes so badly, can't America fulfill its wish by using bunker-busting nukes on its (Iran's) remote military installations, which wouldn't harm civilians, as none live nearby for hundreds of miles?
