Delta is Sending its Boeing 747 Jumbo Jet to Help People Escape Hurricane Irma
Delta's venerable fleet of Boeing 747-400 jumbo jets is set to enter retirement in a few months. But before they go, Delta is sending the Queen of the Skies on one final mission: help to evacuate people from Florida ahead of Hurricane Irma. (finance.yahoo.com) さらに...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
I had not seen or read this story with regard to delta airlines..i did see wall to wall,dawn to dusk coverage on the cable networks with regard to the preparations, the storm itself and as of today, the aftermath in florida and the carribbean..as usual the national guard was enlisted,and any and all local groups were involved all over the state of florida..the media did report on the masses of humanity at airports,and the fact that a lot of those people were already ticketed for flights before the storm..the cruise lines had to get the ships out of ports, so they docked early and all of the thousands of "cruisers" were left a day or so early at the airports...thousands of people stayed and are still at,large shelters all over the state,and yes,thousands did stay in their homes as well..it is easy to stand back and criticize the hows and whys of evacuating basically whole towns of people,but the local mayors and city government people did what they have done in the past in an area that is part of "hurricane central"..they did tell people where shelters were,how to get there,dangers of no power,storm surge and destruction..in the carribbean the us government is working to evacuate american citizens on various islands..there is no way military aircraft could have possibly evacuated the entire state to other areas,and at that,many people did not wish to leave even under mandatory notice..have sympathy,empathy,and gratitude that it was not your home or your state that suffered with a monstrous storm that covered the entire state of florida as a cat3/4/5...
People patting Delta on the back and for what??? "While the flight is not free, Delta has capped its tickets out of Florida at $399." WTH is so great about this???..another friggen airline gouging folks in a time of crisis!..
You sound ungrateful. It's a service, not a charity. Damn liberals...
Delta also donated at least a $million to both Florida and Texas.....
American, Jet Blue, Westjet, Southwest, I could go on also donated and not just to Florida and Texas but to all areas affected..yet American and Jet Blue capped their ticket prices at $99.
I'm now sorry I even brought this gouging up..I wasn't bashing just Delta but all airlines who did nada when ticket prices went through the roof while Harvey and Irma were on the ground.

they waived their fees what more should they do??? Free flights????
What fees did they wave?...why cant anyone open their eyes instead of lambasting someone because they got ticked off at another airline charging higher than normal ticket prices??WTH is it American, Jet Blue and a slew of other airlines capped the ticket prices low because those folks were already under enough stress??? Check out how much it costs for a one way ticket MCO-DTW in a non crisis situation.
I give up!
