Delta used to be a great airline, but the last time my wife and I flew on Delta, it was a disgrace. They held us at the gate for hours, starting about 6:30 pm, repeatedly saying the flight was delayed. At 11:30 pm they said the flight was cancelled. They authorized us for a sleazy hotel near the airport that had no remaining rooms. We returned home, 20 miles away, and returned at 6:30 am the next day to try to get on a flight. The airline personnel seemed to have no concern for the inconvenience caused by this. The weather was good and there did not appear to be any kind of problem with the airplane. There was never an explanation for this foul-up. It was just a high-handed take-it-leave-it way of dealing with the flying public. Delta used to be a great airline, but I think it has slipped to the bottom.
