Mon Jul 17, 2017, 06:48 AM
Jul 2017

she's really slumming it with people she doesn't want to be around

Delta #Clapback.. HipChick Jul 2017 #1
It didn't even cost her $30 for all this negative publicity? True Dough Jul 2017 #2
Some of the tweets in response are pretty funny. The Velveteen Ocelot Jul 2017 #3
They should have banned her. Hassin Bin Sober Jul 2017 #18
K&R... she's the essence of republican mean spanone Jul 2017 #4
Delta I hear if you lubricate her with a couple glasses of white wine you can doc03 Jul 2017 #5
Post removed Post removed Jul 2017 #13
Surely that's unnecessary RandomAccess Jul 2017 #119
That was something I read several years ago about her. It was said she likes her white doc03 Jul 2017 #120
That someone else said it doesn't make it less sexist RandomAccess Jul 2017 #121
Ha ha!!!! Initech Jul 2017 #6
All airlines are pretty subpar GulfCoast66 Jul 2017 #7
Delta is the best US carrier amongst the majors. GetRidOfThem Jul 2017 #118
She is a POS Thinkingabout Jul 2017 #8
$30? She pitched a fit over $30? mcar Jul 2017 #9
She was mad that she got moved from an "extra room" seat oberliner Jul 2017 #16
I know mcar Jul 2017 #24
I agree that she behaved in an awful way oberliner Jul 2017 #33
I agree. They haven't explained why she didn't get spooky3 Jul 2017 #43
She got a seat like the one she paid for. It was across the asile from her bought seat and it still Jim Beard Jul 2017 #56
so she posted that and then flew right next to the person - or nearby? Abu Pepe Jul 2017 #104
Except she had to sit in a window seat, instead of aisle seat which she had pre-booked oberliner Jul 2017 #105
She didn't pre-book an isle seat,she booked a window seat.......... Bengus81 Jul 2017 #111
It's worse than that. Delta said they moved her to a different seat in the SAME ROW. pnwmom Jul 2017 #26
That seems strange oberliner Jul 2017 #32
Maybe to let that 3-person family sit together -- the one in the photo she took? pnwmom Jul 2017 #37
Then Delta is definitely in the wrong oberliner Jul 2017 #39
Yes, you can... brooklynite Jul 2017 #44
Does not seem like it was necessary oberliner Jul 2017 #52
I just returned from Europe via Delta leftynyc Jul 2017 #114
That right, as with overbooking The Mouth Jul 2017 #123
No, probably not. Haven't you ever seen the disclaimer when you choose a seat? pnwmom Jul 2017 #45
Generally people are allowed to sit in the seats they booked oberliner Jul 2017 #53
We don't know that she booked it well in advance -- just that she felt entitled to humiliate pnwmom Jul 2017 #55
She claims that she did oberliner Jul 2017 #58
Where did she say she confirmed it? All I read, over and over, was that she "prebooked" it -- like pnwmom Jul 2017 #59
If you choose a specific seat in advance, you should be allowed to seat in that seat oberliner Jul 2017 #61
If you're buying a ticket online, you should read the disclaimer that says the seat isn't pnwmom Jul 2017 #62
OK oberliner Jul 2017 #86
For all we know, her boarding pass was printed with the window seat number on it. pnwmom Jul 2017 #90
We (and Coulter) wouldn't have to guess as to the reason why, if Delta would just tell her citood Jul 2017 #97
But when you book online it's not fine print. It jumped out at me, anyway. And we don't know pnwmom Jul 2017 #98
The flight attendant should have 'reached out to her' in the same sentence as "we need you to move" citood Jul 2017 #99
How do you know she didn't? Do you believe anything else Coulter has to say? pnwmom Jul 2017 #103
I get the feeling that the other family got there first, and made the request... krispos42 Jul 2017 #76
You may be right oberliner Jul 2017 #84
So, stuff buried in a disclaimer/boilerplate should carry the weight of law? The Mouth Jul 2017 #124
She got moved from one extra leg room seat to another extra leg room seat. politicat Jul 2017 #89
One was an aisle and one was a window oberliner Jul 2017 #91
How do you know she "got moved" - ? Charlotte Little Jul 2017 #102
Both she and Delta have said that she was moved from an aisle to a window seat oberliner Jul 2017 #106
ANN RUNNING Goonch Jul 2017 #10
In the pie thrower's defense, she makes a very small target. Hassin Bin Sober Jul 2017 #15

I loathe Ann Coulter, but Delta is in the wrong here oberliner Jul 2017 #17
I agree. BadgerMom Jul 2017 #30
Also, they shouldn't move someone from a seat that they pre-booked and paid for oberliner Jul 2017 #31
From Delta's Contract of carriage. Ms. Toad Jul 2017 #46
Got it oberliner Jul 2017 #51
I think it's great you're digging your feet in on this one. LanternWaste Jul 2017 #115
No, Ann did something really despicable in tweeting out the photo of the other passenger. Coventina Jul 2017 #65
I agree that Coulter's actions were abominable. BadgerMom Jul 2017 #77
In most cases I would probably agree with you, however, in this case Ann was Coventina Jul 2017 #78
True. BadgerMom Jul 2017 #87

:-) CentralMass Jul 2017 #80
Awesome! chwaliszewski Jul 2017 #92
I've always especially loved that part. tavernier Jul 2017 #100
I agree also, why did they move her? Why did she lose her seat? n/t USALiberal Jul 2017 #63
If you don't show up in a timely fashion, airlines reserve the right to resell your seat. Coventina Jul 2017 #66
OK! Well, that seems like a reasonable reason. So she screwed up basically. Thanks for info! nt USALiberal Jul 2017 #67
Very welcome!! Coventina Jul 2017 #68
Where did you get that info from? oberliner Jul 2017 #72
here is the link to Delta's check-in policies: Coventina Jul 2017 #75
A link to your claim that "Ann was showing up at the very last second" oberliner Jul 2017 #82
Oh, well in that case it came from another thread on DU about the incident. Coventina Jul 2017 #95
Gotcha oberliner Jul 2017 #96
I would have thought she'd fly First Class. GP6971 Jul 2017 #19
She can apply the 30 bucks on a 1st class ticket...on another airline. oasis Jul 2017 #22
There's nothing first class about her. The Velveteen Ocelot Jul 2017 #29
So true GP6971 Jul 2017 #35
With tbe savings she buys beautiful butterflies, then pulls their wings off. CentralMass Jul 2017 #88

Delta should put Coultergeist on their no-fly list. lpbk2713 Jul 2017 #34
I agree Norbert Jul 2017 #60

!! Hope they get to bottom of this and sniff out the culprit. progressoid Jul 2017 #64
She is having a Twitter storm Norbert Jul 2017 #69

Ann's book sales must have fallen on hard times to fly coach IronLionZion Jul 2017 #109
LOL...that's what I said yesterday. A thousand books and she still has to fly with common folk? Bengus81 Jul 2017 #112
If all the other passengers had chipped in $30 each, klook Jul 2017 #110
