I flew that airline once 15 or so years ago. It was a multi leg flight and each leg was late, cancelled or rerouted. The service was awful. The staff attitude bordered on abusive and in one case was threatening. By a factor 25 or 30 the worst airline I’ve ever flown.
I arrived at my destination nearly 2 full days AFTER my scheduled conference presentation. Because I missed the conference the University of Hong Kong (Where I worked) refused to pay for the air fare or hotel bills saying it amounted to a vacation.
Never again. I’ll walk, row a boat or swim before I ever fly Delta again.
I guess at least now the poor passengers have a nicer plane to sit in while not flying.
As a Delta Platinum I can assure you that your acronym is incorrect. DELTA actually stands for Don’t Expect Luggage To Arrive.
Delta is antigun garbage too
Unfortunately they were by far the cheapest for a small trip to the midwest and I chose them

Oh and carbon wings are no good against lightning
Our son flew delta, apparently they didn’t think there would be storms in Atlanta in the summer. He was delayed 12 hours, missed his connecting flight, then they lost his bags.
When I called their customer service to check on his 30 minute flight, the hold time was estimated at 45 minutes.
O and his initial flight, well it was delayed because the pilot didn’t show up.
It took him almost 24 hours to fly from Fort Polk to Knoxville, tn.
His bags showed up 3 days later.
We had a better experience with American Airlines.
You were flying on Delta partners going to HK. Sounds like you forgot to account for crossing the date line when scheduling your arrival time.
When I lived in Detroit, I was forced to fly Delta. 75% of flights at Detroit Metro Airport were Delta.
Thanks to the recession, I had to move to Maryland for a job. The family didn’t move till we sold the house so for 8 months, I came home every second or third weekend. I drove every time. (9-10 hours each way)
The weekend we were scheduled to move, I decided to fly. Delta. Stupid.
The delayed the flight several times along with a second flight to Detroit. Finally told us to go home and try again later.
There was no weather or other outside influence.
I knew someone who was driving to Detroit the next morning and rode with them.
I fly somewhat frequently for work and do my best to never fly Delta. I think maybe twice in the last nine years.
