Full title: After 28 hours, Delta Air Line’s only answer for why it made Ann Coulter give up her prepaid seat is “I don’t know”
Delta made Coulter give up her prepaid seat. When Coulter asked why, the flight attendant’s answer was
“I don’t know.”
28 hours after the incident, Delta has still not offered Coulter any other explanation for its actions.
If Delta did have a legitimate reason for doing what it did, it should say what that reason was.
Otherwise, Delta will have given the impression that one or more of its employees simply did it out of some personal vendetta that they have against Coulter.

I have no doubt ONE PERSON is responsible for this mess and didn’t think it would blow up like it did.
They can find the person - probably already have - and are working with lawyers and the union as we speak to try to soften what really happened.
“Smart air travelers are aways buckled up except to visit the head.”
OH, if one is not smart, they don’t stay buckled up? I have been through moderate turbulence too i.e. on one flight a flight attendant had to be deplaned after an emergency stop due to her falling during a rough ride. So, I remain buckled up. Meanwhile, how does one go to “the head” if they are always bucked up? Today you cannot even line up at the head in the front of the plane.
There has been a noticeable uptick in the time we are fastened to our seats these days then say 20 years ago. I can recall the flying bar that continental had back in the 70s for instance and the 747s had for first class as far back as the 60s. No turbulence then? BTW, long flights without any leg movement has been shown to cause blood clots, should they warn of that too.
My point was: if it is so safe, why cannot we get up? Simple reason, the planes are so stuffed and with narrow pathways today, it is virtually impossible to get about. Perhaps if they listed all of the potential problems during commercials as they must do for pharmacuetical products, less would fly?
After all, there is a risk, no matter how minute of a plane crash, turbulence, a hijack attempt, blood clots, dehydration, exposure to x rays, over booking and the like, no??
Delta found out who Ann is and decided to harass her.
That’s a truly amazing job of taking two sentences
and turning them into five sentences.
Will the wonders of the “New Media” never cease?
BTW this is not “News” anymore and that’s a cheap attempt
to garner hits by marking it as an excerpt when it isn’t.
More info:
When someone buys a plane ticket, there’s fine print says you can be moved.
Airlines are supposed to say why they want you to move,
and
Ann spent extra for more legroom; she’s tall.

“After 28 hours, Delta Air Line’s only answer for why it made Ann Coulter give up her prepaid seat is “I don’t know”
When you buy an airline ticket, you are entering into a contract which allows the airline to make you give up your seat.
However, if and when the airline does make you give up your seat, it is supposed to offer a reasonable explanation.
Ann Coulter is tall, and she didn’t want to get a fatal blood clot from sitting in a cramped airline seat (this medical condition is called “Deep vein thrombosis“), so she chose to spend extra money in order to get extra legroom on her Delta Air Lines flight.
Delta made Coulter give up her prepaid seat. When Coulter asked why, the flight attendant’s answer was
“I don’t know.”
28 hours after the incident, Delta has still not offered Coulter any other explanation for its actions.
If Delta did have a legitimate reason for doing what it did, it should say what that reason was.
Otherwise, Delta will have given the impression that one or more of its employees simply did it out of some personal vendetta that they have against Coulter.”
Worse, one of the flight attendants and a passenger did.
I agree. Airlines treating their paid passengers like dirt is hardly news, is it?
Ann Coulter is 6 feet tall. She went online and prepaid for a seat with extra legroom and was shunted off to a shorter seat so some little lady could sit in her prepaid assigned one. When asked why she was being treated this way, the flight attendant said "I don't know".
But this isn't news - airlines consider their passengers cattle (that's a flight attendant in the blue shirt)
Thats a vintage shot of when CattleCar Air Ways A.K.A. Southwest Air just got “off the ground”. If you could deal with the hot shot in your ass 2 or 3 times before you found your seat , the flight was usually pretty good.
“One or more lower-level, on-the-spot employees did it out of hate. Hate for her Conservative ways, hate for her white skin, or both.”
What you said. Amen to that. (And they call US “haters”.)
Because Delta is the Queer Airline and stands against every value Coulter would espouse. I wanted to vomit when I saw Delta’s rainbow billboard in Atlanta the night of the Obergefels homosexual “marriage” decision.
““One or more lower-level, on-the-spot employees did it out of hate. Hate for her Conservative ways, hate for her white skin, or both.””
Exposing the leftists is the best remedy.
Coulter posted a photo of the woman who took the seat she had reserved. I’ll go out on a limb and say the woman is not an air marshal. On another forum, someone suggested the move might have been an effort to accommodate members of a family flying to a funeral, by seating them together—but again, there’s no proof that was the reason Ann lost her reserved seat.
Most likely reason: lib gate agent spotted Ann and made the switch for partisan political reasons. I’ll defer to IT experts on the board and those who have worked for the airlines, but you’d think it would be very easy for Delta to identify when the change was made and who made it.
Ms. Coulter has discovered what the rest of us have known for some time: flying today is absolute hell.
“The leftists can be very nasty. Exposing the leftists is the best remedy.”
I think there was a thread a day or two ago discussing turning the tables on them by loudly calling them “haters” at every opportunity. They’ve been calling us haters for years, but they are the true haters. It might be an Alinsky tactic, and I’m going to give it a try. “You’re a hater! You’re a hater!” See how it goes.
Don’t
Even
Leave
The
Air port
What amazes me is not only how they treated Ann, but how they have made no professional heartfelt effort to apologize.
They seem to enjoy the fact that they annoyed her. Odd business policy.
United and Delta are both horrid.
As a diamond medallion flyer I wish I had been in first class on that plane so I could haves swapped seats with Ann just to piss them off. I did quietly let Delta know they should issue a public comment on the reason for the seat change. They have a lot of conservative flyers that may not be happy about their actions.
After some confusion, according to the airline, a flight attendant stepped in to ask the affected passengers to return to the seats on their respective tickets. Everyone, including Coulter, complied and the flight departed and landed without further incident, according to Delta.
Ignore my link. Those paragraphs have since been removed.
Oh, yeah. THATS the FAKE part we made up,but knew that the masses wouldn’t believe a word of it.
This think has the makings of a thermonewkyular SNAFU for DELTA.
