This is a non-issue. There is no malice here, only confusion on the airline's part on how soldiers' baggage is handled. I'm sure they'll be reimbursed.


Definitive proof that QM hates "the troops".

That's what I was thinking... probably some miscommunication and no one with sufficient "rank" from the airline was around at that time of day to clear it up immediately.

If it's in the contract then they'll get their money back, but I can see why they're upset about it. At least they probably won't have to handle the situation individually.

United breaks guitars, Delta overcharges for baggage. What airlines are left?


A whole bunch.

Not saying I agree with Delta...I actually feel its a shitty policy, and almost all airline baggage policies are pretty shitty...but here is the info straight from Delta's FAQ:
Will the first or second bag policy apply to active U.S. Military personnel checking bags?
No. U.S. Military personnel on active duty with travel orders may check in 3 bags in Economy Class and up to 4 checked bags in First/Business on Delta aircraft or Delta Connection® carriers, at no additional charge. Each bag has a maximum weight of 70 lbs (32 kg) and size of 80 linear inches (203 cm).

What they say on their FAQ might not be consistent with what's written in the contract with the U.S. Military.
Whatever is in the contract must be obliged.
That, and have some friggin' honor, Delta. Is a couple thousand dollars worth screwing over honorable men and bad publicity?

what makes you think that guy's a honorable man? just because he's a soldier? i think assuming someone is more noble or similar just because they are member of armed forces is somewhat shortsighted. what about all those lunatics in uniform that massacre civilians?


Like Colonel Walter E. Kurtz Burtz

I sure that this will find its way back to Delta and they will be ashamed,

and Hell is for children.>> ^shuac:

War is hell.

So it begins, oh wait. The US has a history of this sort of xenophobia.

See Japanese Internment Camps, also German Internment Camps. The long plain history of persecution of the "Red Man." The bullshit of segregation.

That's not even including the kind of bullshit that takes place with LGBT.

That pilot from delta can go fuck himself.

I have no idea what the fuck this is, but I love it HAHAHA

edit: Oh shit its Andy Samberg and his crew.

Turtle neck n’ chain (x3) (sippin’ on a light beer) – (x2)
My turtleneck fat and my chain so thin,
N’ im sippin’ light beer, n my crew right here
Chain razor thin like beer in my cup,
And my sweater on turtle with the neck on buff
Huge turtle neck and my chain so skinny
Beer light all night, stand up get dizzy
Light cup, beer drink, thin so chain, neck turtle fat, man I won’t say it again
Turtle neck n’ chain (x3) (sippin’ on a light beer)
Turtle neck (check) with another on deck
Incase I spill something on it (like some light beer, yeah)
We be braggin’ bout who’s chain the thinnest
Turtle neck thicker than delta burse women in the Guinness (now bear with me)
But they can’t see my chain,
Metal so thin it dissolve when it rains
Got more chains than the snow patrol
Everyone razor thin like an insect stripper pole
Turtle neck n’ chain (x3) (sippin’ on a light beer)
Chain so light when police roll by, i made it flow (I made it flow)
And my beer so light you could see right through it, like a ghost
And i also wear turtle necks
Sweaters swallowing my chain like it’s stuck in the couch
Looking like cookie mother floss in this mouth
Find me coolin’ on the corner sippn’ light beer foam
You can tell by my turtle neck and chain that i bone
T-turtleneck, light beer n’ a thin ass chain, n’ that’s it (x2)

-Snoop Dogg-

The rabbit kicked the bucket, dog said f**k it,
Get my 2 step on, with my turtle neck on
Thin ass chain, like beer in my glass
Mackin at the bitches, the ones with the ass
Girl you know it’s true, tell me what it do
Oh you like my style, say you like my crew
Say you wanna’ be under my chest, this turtle neck is like one of my best (x2)
So i guess your dress, no stress, stayin’ fresh as my bandana
Ima crook, so my look, ima game go getta
The fatter the puppy, get the fluffy, get the bigger the turtleneck,
The more gangster it is
