The flight attendants had no problem with it, and I'd expect the same of any airline.

BULLSNOT!
You don't do yourself, or whatever cause it is you're advocating, any good by posting falsehood.
When was the last time you boarded a commercial airliner? How many times have you done so in the last year? Five years? Ten years?
Be honest.
>>I’ve never seen Delta refuse someone in first class giving up their seat for another.
On that note, we have an 82nd Airborne patch my wife was given by a guy she gave up a lay-flat Delta business class seat to. He was coming back from Afghanistan, told her after the flight that it was the most comfortable he had been in 6 months, said “thanks”, and gave her the patch. I don’t mind admitting I got a little choked up hearing about that when we got off the flight.
Normal policy is they don’t like you swapping seats between classes like that, but don’t seem to ever have a problem with it when it involves military. At least that’s what we’ve seen.
This story sounds like one posted 6+ months ago...
It only took the Washington Post a year to find and spin the story?
What’s the MSM agenda?

Flight attendents used to be pretty and really nice. Now they are union thugs. I stopped flying with the TSA’s sexual molestation program. As a nomral reaction for me, I might punch some stranger who grabbed by crotch.
No guarentee I would have survived bowing to the goose stepping, murdering freaks in Nazi Germany. America is “progressing” there as fast as the US government and Congress can take us. They need gun control.
Oh, God. This is what we've come to. Instead of an apology and discipline for the crew, we get modern-corporate-marxist-speak. "Sensitivity training" won't fix it.
I went back to the bar where he was and said the change was incorrect. He insisted I'd given him a $10; I said it was a $20. After a brief argument (that drew embarrassed looks from another attendant), I got my $10. I returned to my seat.
For the next hour and a half, this bozo bad mouthed me to every passenger on the plane on how I'd bilked him out of his $10. Finally I had enough and I went back to talk to this guy. I told him I didn't like him calling me a thief and I was complaining to the president of United. I wanted his name. He countered with, “What's yours?” I gave him my business card. Then I got his name and that of the attendant who'd witnessed this incident.
Several hours later, the male attendant came by with two bottles of champagne for us. He said he'd balanced his accounts and things came out to the penny — I was right after all. He apologized and I accepted. He didn't know how close he came to losing his job because I really intended to get his butt fired.
Few are trained with how to deal with a disabled vet.
The blind Marine CAP machinegunner I hang out with on occasion taught me a few tricks.
When receiving change, you count out the bills for him. You tell him, here’s a ten, here’s a five and three singles. He arranges the bills in his billfold as is his custom.
When hopping from one bar to the next, you don’t grab his arm. Allow him to take your wing and ditty-bop to the next watering hole.
Same thing when entering a home he is not familiar with. Let him take your wing (your arm) and show him where the head is. He’ll count the steps, when to turn and how to get there.
Your experience may be different, but let the disabled vet teach you.
they merged with northwest, the delta attendants aren’t the northwest ones still were, last i knew.
