What a load of crap. Someone has a whole lot of explaining to do.

Yet one more reason not to fly Delta Airlines.

[ghettodub]

heard about that. F&*k delta...

[CMP_5.56]

I'll never fly them again, that is for sure.

I poked around the Delta Airlines website and found this:

Active duty U.S. military personnel traveling on orders to or from duty stations, and active U.S. military dependents traveling on relocation orders, are allowed up to four checked bags in Delta's Economy Class and Delta Connection® carriers (regardless of cabin), and up to five checked bags in First and Business Class on Delta aircraft only, at no charge. Each bag may weigh up to 70 lbs. (32 kg) and measure up to 80 linear inches (203 cm).

It is the last bulleted item on this page.

Holy crap it's right there in freaking black and white! SOMEBODY NEEDS TO GET FIRED.

Well, perhaps not. I just read the CNN.com article about this and it seems that they (Delta Airlines) updated their policy online before I found it. Either way, it's a shitty way to treat our troops returning home.

It sucks they were treated this way returning home.

However, Delta has issued an apology and changed their policy (as noted above).

They did say that after they supply reciepts to the .mil, they will pay the fees, then Delta will refund the money to the .mil? Its a load of crap.
