Delta
Tim’s take
Delta is his go-to example of American air travel falling apart, anchored by two real incidents he keeps returning to: the flight served moldy chicken and diverted after passengers got sick, and the plane that landed upside down and paid out $30,000 40:02 0:00. He treats that payout as an insult, arguing Delta and its peers treat passengers like garbage because their own staff are visibly exhausted and mistreated too, and that survivors should be suing rather than thanking anyone 1:43 4:34 9:25.
Outside those incidents it's mostly a comparison point — he holds up Emirates as run on fear and discipline and Delta as proof that no such fear exists at American carriers 9:15, and elsewhere lumps it with United and Southwest as just another rowdy domestic flight full of entitled boomers 20:46. He also uses "beating Delta" out of a $75 fee as his example of the most boring possible human victory 47:00, and folds a Delta mold story into a wider bit about flying in America being a death sentence 2:30 39:15.
