I feel your pain.  I was a NWA flyer for years.  After being stranded in Atlanta for the second time in less than a year.  I have had enough with Delta as well.  Both issues Delta blamed on someone else rather than their own staff.  Trying to board a 757 with no computer at a gate that isn’t even own by Delta is about the dumbest thing I have ever seen.  Since that day I have flown American and United.  Contemplating dumping Delta for good and switching to American.  Only I liked having 5-6 airports as options for travel.  I’m not a fan of DFW and ORD, but maybe I could be swayed. 

Today is day two of what so far is my one man Boycott of Delta Airlines. In the brief twenty-four hours since leaving Delta forever, I’ve booked two business trips, the first departing tonight. That’s $800.00 in revenue that would have easily belonged to Delta, just as every business travel dollar…

It is another sad tale of once complimentary items that are now for sale, as American Airlines moves to charging for pillows and blankets on select flights; a move that almost parallels US Airways’s $7 “power-nap sack” and JetBlue’s blanket-pillow set.

For those seated in coach on domestic flights and select international flights greater than 2 hours, American will charge $8 for a pillow and blanket. The select international flights include routes to and from Canada, Mexico, Hawaii, the Caribbean and Central America.

“American evaluates all aspects of the business to ensure that economic decisions are prudent and strategic for the long-term success of the company,” said spokeswoman Andrea Huguely.

Blankets in premium-class cabins will remain complimentary.

I would say, “well that’s why I fly NWA Delta Airlines.”  but sadly they suck too.
