Especially arias were SAMs are being thrown around. A SAM differentiate between a combat aircraft and a civilian aircraft.

The big question no one asks is why were they flying passenger jets over a war zone.

Why not? I land on dirt runways in Northern Canada and would like to know why you say this.

ATRs have a similar landing gear and low clearance yet land on dirt runways in Northern Canada.

True. Also sometimes the destination and available seats dictate the airline. Never say never.

We got trapped by a storm a few years back. We didn’t have to go to a Customer Service desk, Delta’s Customer Service came to the waiting aria, set up and started working through the customers. They had lots of people But they called us up by section and seat number, very organized and it seemed like they were actually concerned about us. Might have just been an act to smooth over the customers but if it was it was a damn good act cause they took each customers personal circumstances into account.

This was a tough call for AA. Their employees followed the protocol the company laid out for them and no one would have foreseen Delta’s actions. Hindsites always 20 20. But I do hope this is a wake up call to all airlines that their customers need to be looked after better. The competition is always watching and looking for an opportunity to steal your customers and this time Delta not only did a great service for the kids but hopefully woke AA up.

I am glad this ended well for the kids. There is a lesson here for every business, if you won’t look after your customers your competition will.

Northern Canada and Alaska also have a lot of short runways.
