Book smarts can be helpful... But nothing beats honest-to-God real world experience... and that goes for pretty much anything, I think.

@scottalanmiller Exactly. Academia is fine. That boring straight-laced no-real-world-experience stuff -- not so much

I try hard to stay real world.

I'm sure Delta/American will figure out SOME way to damage blocks of wood.

I've always had good experiences with Delta.

I've had them just leave me while I stood at the gate. Pretty sure that they overbooked and closed the gate so that I wouldn't make the plane. But I was on time, connecting from another flight and they just didn't let me board (and lots of other people.)

I'm not denying others have had terrible experiences. I'm just not one of them

Southwest has called me on my cell phone when I was transferring and the gates were a mile away from each other, maybe two. They knew I had landed and that my SW flight landing was delayed by traffic, and they were asking me to 'please hurry up!' I made it.
