I Hate Delta Airlines

Its not the deicing itself that im upset about, its just the wait. It dosent make sence to me that they go line up on the runway, then come back to deice. Heck yeah im glad they deiced it. I get on planes trusting the company I board with will get me where i need to go safely and not falling from the sky.
Its just my reccomendation that the deicing could have taken place before the boarding, at most went straight to deicing rather than heading to the runway, then coming back, for the sake of the passengers. especially when it was snow form the night before. It just seems inefficient.
I dont know much about how they organize things at an airport, but from someone who is just a passenger, it dosent make sence.


Thanks for being the guy who gives passengers piece of mind when flying.

You can't de-ice before you board.... due to the aforementioned hold-over times. If your de-ice fluid is only good for 20 minutes, then it will be impossible to get from the de-ice pad to the gate, board all of the people, and get off the ground in that amount of time. It's unfortunate, but it's unavoidable.

As for flying horror stories.... the public will get what they will consistently pay for. People want over-booking to stop? Be willing to pay the difference.

Awww,dont hate us,were really trying to get you there.Its not like you just get in the car and go with a check light on,or drive into the rainstorm with bad wipers.We dont do that in aircraft.
I know its frustrating sometimes since its out of your control,I've been there a few times.I'd rather sit there for a while than fly on something thats not ready to go and I'm not going to send you up in a broken jet.

You're at PAE? What do you do? I used to work there...
