Subject: Song Challenge: Delta Blues
I'm not sure how this works, but someone ought to write a song about this one. I'll probably give it a crack when I'm not so sleep deprived,; but it was too good to not share.

Just had an amazingly awful series of flights with Delta Airlines, four out of four flights on this last trip were at least two hours late, with the crowning glory being the 12:40 p.m flight that took off at 11:15 pm instead. It's amazing the reawsons flights weren't getting off the ground (you hear a lot during 11 hours of terminal time) Maintanencce, no crew, delays in paperwork, over weight planes (they actually ditch luggage or passengers or both) paperwork troubles, gate troubles, fog elsewhere, My favorite was the flight from JFK to Dullas which actually flew, but they advised people to use the bathroom in the airport as the one on the plane was not working.   I was flying with my 79 year old Mom who is spry and smart and wonderful, I got home at 3 a.m. and she got home at 2;45 a.m. The high point was when we finally got to the bar for a beer and saw that wonderful Delta logo "Make way for a new experience: Delta! Almost spit out our beer laughing. Anyway, if anyone wants to take on the Delta Blues and write something for the Sky Team, I'd love to see it.

Oh, I guess there is a reason why Delta is in Chapter 11.
