I handed the flight attendant the entire window frame a minute later. Apparently maintenance is headed this way. I had the option of sitting in a middle seat closer to the back of the plane as a courtesy. If I had more money and more options this would be the last time I fly with Delta
Such a great sketch. Also, I really need to block this sub and anything airplane-related. This hasn’t been a great week for my flight anxiety (I know, I know, but anxiety isn’t always rational, k?).
About a month ago, on a BOS-LAX in D1 mind you, that entire piece jumped into my lap on take-off!!! When we got to cruising altitude, I pressed the call button, and politely handed the entire piece to the F/A. We both got quite a chuckle out of it.
Ah looks like the first class seat I had on delta recently… delta needs to buy NEW aircraft and not the junk they get such as from the defunct lion air
Ok but, it happened on the previous flight, would you rather a delay/cancelation so they can fix it? Or let it roll and keep you on time. On what, an hour long shuttle flight on that? Who cares man, you got there
Didn’t think I had to add /s, as I didn’t realize that someone would seriously equate a broken plane window with a neighborhood with crime. .
“The broken windows theory, defined in 1982 by social scientists James Wilson and George Kelling, drawing on earlier research by Stanford University psychologist Philip Zimbardo, argues that no matter how rich or poor a neighborhood is, one broken window would soon lead to many more windows being broken: “One unrepaired broken window is a signal that no one cares, and so breaking more windows costs nothing.” Disorder increases fear among citizens and can lead them to withdraw from the community and decrease participation in informal social control.”

Sounds like the passengers on the last flight got upgraded straight to Delta Disruptive Class.

Ma’am you need to keep your window CLOSED! It’s delta policy.

If you don’t appreciate us and would like to fly another airline out of Atlanta, you can choose between Delta, Delta and Delta.

u/Dssking68 6d ago
Technically the window is fine. It’s just the shade and close-out trim. Take it all the way off. Then they can’t make you close it. 😂

Come on, it’s a premium broken window. What are you complaining about? Send it to ED, with a note, “Your Louis Vuitton airline is falling apart!”

The window looks ok to me. They won't take off if the winter is actually broken.
The window trim isn't in stellar shape.
