I've been thinking about getting a part time job as a baggage handler or something for the free flights and just dumping 100% of the salary into my 401k. once you're at Delta for 6 months you get a free companion pass in addition to your own free pass, and they don't even have to be on the same flight with you

not to mention all the free electronics

I'm sure that poo poo happens all the time but I know they're insanely strict with it at PHL at least. the TSA puts dummy bags with cash, drugs, iphones, etc. through the process and fires people all the time

if you're worried about stuff getting lifted from your check in, make sure your connecting flights leave asap and this is the crucial one, don't pack stuff you would be sad losing in your check in.

I would like to clarify that I'm far too polite to ever be rude to someone in the service industry and have never berated or yelled at anyone, even a flight attendant. I just think threatening someone with arrest for what was a customer service issue is a hosed up card to play :smith:

NEW YORK — An investment banker was fined $5,000 and placed on probation for two years Tuesday for a drunken scene aboard an airliner in which he was accused of defecating on a food service cart.

Gerard Buckley Finneran, 59, of Greenwich, Conn., also was ordered to get counseling and not drink on airplanes. He previously agreed to pay $48,000 to reimburse his fellow passengers' ticket costs, perform 300 hours of community service and cover United Airlines' $1,000 cleanup cost.

Finneran, managing director of Trust Company of the West, pleaded guilty to a federal charge of making a threat. He was angered when flight attendants refused to serve him more wine on a Buenos Aires-to-New York flight Oct. 20.

Finneran's lawyer said his client is still in United's frequent flyer program.

A few years ago on a United Airlines flight from Buenos Aires to
New York,
Gerard B. Finneran, an investment banker, went totally bonkers. Newspaper
accounts said that after becoming intoxicated, Finneran demanded more
alcohol from the flight attendants. When they refused, he began helping
himself to the liquor supply. After being cut off a second time, he became
visibly angry. He pushed one flight attendant (federal offense No. 1), verbally
threatened another (federal offense No. 2), interfered with a third who was
assisting a sick passenger (federal offense No. 3), then walked up to the
first-class cabin, dropped his pants and defecated on a service cart in plain
view of the passengers and crew. Then he stepped in his own feces and tracked
it through the main cabin (federal offense Nos. 4, 5 and possibly 6).

Finneran was arrested upon landing in New York. He subsequently
pleaded
guilty to assault and was sentenced to two years probation. In addition, he
was given 300 hours of community service and a $5,000 fine and was ordered to pay more than $50,000
in restitution to the airline and to reimburse fellow passengers for the
price of their tickets. (Not surprisingly, Finneran’s lawyer said his
client was “ill” when he committed the now infamous in-flight atrocity.)

Virgin left PHL and my only frequent flyer choices (based on where I typically fly) were United and Delta. it's a bad look. I went with United cause at the time they were offering a stupid amount of bonus miles with their card

i assume you have to behave pretty badly to get threatened by the flight crew, a friend of mine had a drinking contest with an australian he met on the plane on the way from australia back to the us with the free booze and he ended up puking on the OUTSIDE of the door to the bathroom while trying to apologize to the flight attendant about how much he had puked INSIDE the bathroom and he still didn't get threatened with having a security officer back at the gate, and he's NOT EVEN WHITE

this was on qantas for the record

I've heard bad things about both, it was a coinflip. basically the only solid airlines are Virgin and Jet Blue, after that it's a mixed bag, then there's Southwest and Spirit.
