seems pretty simple to me.

it's a security rule and it's not hard to follow. I find it hard to believe people still don't know it. -- nm - loosilu Jun 26, 13:19 38
- so if your SO said "hey loosi, I got fucked over by Delta, listen to this shit," you'd respond with... - TFox Jun 26, 13:20 37
  - I'd tell him he should have got his dumb ass to the airport on time. -- nm - loosilu Jun 26, 13:21 36
    - see you think this in your head but say outloud "ahh man they fucking suck, Bastards" -- nm - Beaker Jun 26, 13:23 9
      - (My SO would prefer to arrive with more time to spare than I do ... so this has never come up.) -- nm - Beryllium Jun 26, 13:23
      - no I wouldn't, because if I'm travelnig with him, we will get to the damn airport on time. -- nm - loosilu Jun 26, 13:23 7
        
        not if the NYCTA has anything to say about it. - znufrii Jun 26, 13:27 4
        
        then you give yourself enough time to account for that. -- nm - loosilu Jun 26, 13:28 3
        
        oh, come the fuck on. like she is the first person who, with the best intentions, had a series of things happen that screwed up a plan. -- nm - TFox Jun 26, 13:29 2

        but this, of course, would not apply here... - TFox Jun 26, 13:34
        
        You should favorite this and meditate on it sometime. Good nuggets in here for you, I think. :) -- nm - TFox Jun 26, 13:24 1
        
        I would say "wow that sucks". - loosilu Jun 26, 13:25
    - OK then. Disconnect identified. -- nm - TFox Jun 26, 13:22 24
      - you expect Delta to break federal law because your SO is flaky? -- nm - loosilu Jun 26, 13:22 23
        
        I would expect, that if it were a matter of law, they would make it explicit on their "Check-In Requirements" page. - znufrii Jun 26, 13:26 11

        it's posted everywhere. - loosilu Jun 26, 13:26 9
        
        It's not on the most obvious page to look online, and if they're saying it over the PA in the airport... - znufrii Jun 26, 13:29 8
        
        it's been that way since 9/11, - loosilu Jun 26, 13:32 6

        then - loosilu Jun 26, 13:36 4

        I went to American Airlines for contrast - they say at least one hour prior for domestic, no luggage -- (link) - Andie Jun 26, 13:41 1
        
        I'm not talking about "suggested" check-in times here. - znufrii Jun 26, 13:45
        
        you're - loosilu Jun 26, 13:38
        
        it's more a common sense thing. (i know she was delayed and that sucks), but it's not like showing up at the airport 30 minutes before you fly is the - Andie Jun 26, 13:31
        
        I expect z to be a good bf and say what his gf likely needs to hear on an extremely frustrating day. - TFox Jun 26, 13:23 9
        
        yeah, this is a "yes, honey. I too know what it's like to be frustrated and upset" moment. -- nm - Callisto Jun 26, 13:28 3
        
        but not the second or third time it happens. - loosilu Jun 26, 13:29 2
        
        so, in other words, you're talking about a situation that's completely different than the one I'm complaining about. - znufrii Jun 26, 13:31 1
        
        no - loosilu Jun 26, 13:33
        
        i think he should be totally sympathetic to her, no question. that doesn't mean he has to think that this is Delta's fault. - Andie Jun 26, 13:26 2

        agreed. -- nm - loosilu Jun 26, 13:27

        He's not talking to his SO right now, he's talking to ST. -- nm - Roger More Jun 26, 13:25
        
        I think he expects you to side with your SO -- nm - Beaker Jun 26, 13:23
    - Ditto. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 26, 13:22
