Hello from the W Atlanta Midtown “Living Room.” Good stay so far, though I’m on a slightly lower floor than previously. Oh well, I’ll survive! I’ve been up since just before 3AM. The 6AM launch to Atlanta from DCA on Delta was delayed by an hour and fifty minutes for snow that was forecast, but never really materialized. Life goes on. But I do need to check my Delta.com profile as I received a phone call and an email to advise me that my flight was delayed, a fact that I already knew the night before. But no complaints about Delta notifying me, just an observation about the irony since I already knew.
I have to wonder why Delta instituted its “proactive delay” program today, and so many hours before the actual flights to boot. Could it be the first manifestation of the unintended consequences of hard limits on that amount of time passengers can be held aboard a flight before being allowed off? Just sayin’……
