if I had an airline the only people I would discriminate against is fat people

you either buy a first class ticket or we bunch all you frickers together at the back of the plane so you can inconvenience each other with your love handles resting on the arm rests

People get bumped or asked to move all the time. I haven’t seen how much she recorded (and she was recording before being asked to move so should have it all unless selectively editing), but if one seat available elsewhere she might have been asked to not only help but get away from the 2 women who seemed to annoying and were going to continue. In many cases it’s about a collective calm on board a flying tin can. If it’s never happened to this lady before in either direction or if she hasn’t seen it also happen to white people as well she must not fly a lot.

Some black people love to use anecdotal evidence for proof racism as from their personal point of view everything is racist.

yes, i know. so if you don't like me saying white people ________, then you probably shouldn't do the same. If it doesn't bother you, then disregard.

Delta flies a BLM flag at their headquarters and allows their employees to wear BLM pins.
Good luck.

what’s funny to me is that while almost anything that comes out of a white person’s mouth can and usually will be construed as racist to a black person what they think are terrible insults towards white people aren’t offensive to me and some are even comical

white people love stereotyping



To be fair black people love being victims and also love stereotyping white people, asians, and so on.

How do you have first class tickets but not sit in first class seats?

First class is expensive AF. No way if I'm paying for that, I'm 1) Losing my ticket and 2) accepting an empty coach seat next to me as the same as first class.

Delta... they have these lists of passengers that shows, uh, what seat everyone is assigned.

Why did the flight attendants not say... uh... what's your name, Karens? Nope, it says you have seats in coach, now enjoy your flight?

The moment the flight attendants even considered doing something for the Karens... it was over.

Were the FA's racist? Prob not. But they sure AF are stupid, and therefore, I'm 100 percent ok with whatever trash comes their (and Delta's) way.

I was bumped from first on Sunday for that reason, though I was simply moved to an open seat so no conflict with another passenger.


Did they refund you the price between coach and first?

There is more to this story as always

plane reconfig


Planes don't get reconfig overnight.
The only time a reconfig would be an issue is if the aircraft type was switched last minute. Airliners for the most part have the same reconfig for each particular aircraft.
This sounds more like an overbooking, or that the 2 hags didn't want to be separated..

Which I wouldn't move either. I strategically select my seat and is assigned the seat for obvious reason. Because that's the seat I wanted and paid for.

Could have been an equipment change or over sale, some airlines have different configurations for the same aircraft type though

If we are taking the story at face value (which may not be accurate) neither of those were an issue.

If it's a plane swap, I would assume the airline would refund the difference and help the women at some point BEFORE the flight took off.

If it's an oversale... well F Delta, then. Also how do you have an oversale with assigend seats?

People get moved around all the time on flights. You pay for a seat to the destination. Your only recourse is to buy a first class or business ticket.
If anything they should refund her paid seat selection but good chance she didn’t even have to pay extra for that.

the white biddies may have had assigned seats in coach but on the upgrade list, all we’ve heard is from the offended party, typically passengers don’t know as much about airline ops as they think they do and observations/recall are usually inaccurate

Because it's easier to move one person than it is two? Also, she could have just said no.
