Well, an easy trip, my fourth to CT this year, and my 3rd to Danbury, CT. I got done early at work and decided to try to locate Sandy Hook Elementary School, which was only 3 miles away. I had heard it was being torn down and it is. The road it's on is closed, and blocked. You can't get in. It was just so sad to see this, because Newtown, CT seems to be such a peaceful place.
The flights coming and going were fine, but in ATL, we flew an MD88 to TPA which holds 149 pax. 16 people sat in front with an astounding 37 others waitlisted. A quick check of my phone calculator means that over 35 percent of the pax on this flight are considered "elite" by DL, which is complete foolishness. There is nothing "elite" unless you are Diamond in my opinion. How would you like to be the guy at number 37? Meaning, you bust your tail to give DL business so you can get the status and then there is NO WAY you'll ever upgrade. I hope that these newbie elites (and there are MANY of them) will eventually get this picture.....it's not special and just makes you one of the herd.
In the meantime, they haven't learned yet.
