Delta vs. Ann Coulter

Coulter went off on the airline in a tweetstorm starting Saturday when she was moved from a seat she had pre-booked. The airline said she was moved from the aisle seat in an exit row to a window seat in the same row. But she was upset with the move, prompting a string of angry tweets which have continued for nearly two days.

The dispute quickly went viral on Twitter, and Delta's response Sunday evening elevated it from a typical celebrity tweet storm to something larger. And in an age when airlines are almost universally reviled, Coulter's polarizing persona led her many critics to embrace Delta's response. That only added to the attention the dispute got on social media.

Coulter didn't just attack Delta -- she even attacked the other passenger, who was sitting in the seat she was assigned to sit in. Coulter called her "dachshund-legged" and implied she's an immigrant when she tweeted, "Immigrants take American jobs (& seats on @Delta)."

Coulter also implied that the problem with Delta gate agents is that they are protected by a union when she tweeted "Does your union hate you, @Delta?"

Delta apologized that Coulter did not get the seat she had pre-booked, and said it would refund her $30.

But it added, "more importantly, we are disappointed that the customer has chosen to publicly attack our employees and other customers by posting derogatory and slanderous comments and photos in social media. Her actions are unnecessary and unacceptable."

You accept the conditions that your seat may be changed when you purchase any airline ticket. Delta refunded her and there's nothing more to it.

sure, its shitty to not be given the seat you expected or be forced to move but **** happens. As soon as she started harassing and taking + posting unsolicited photos of the people in her aisle including the girl in "her" seat, she lost all credibility as a dissatisfied customer - just like airline hosts lose their credibility of "enforcing policy" when they become threatening or violent or such actions are driven by discrimination etc.

If I were her, I wouldn't want to draw attention that I was seated in coach, when I'm supposedly "a success".

Many successful people don't sit in first class, because it's not worth the money on domestic flights. You get a 'little' extra room and a meal service (on some routes).  'Many' people who sit in first class get deals or use their upgrade points anyways. :shrug:

International is a different story :usrs:

She needs to be quiet though.. she's been barking about this all weekend lol
