Delta, like other U.S. airlines, typically provides special services for lawmakers who fly frequently back and forth from Washington
Delta Air Lines is suspending special services for members of Congress, citing the impact of a partial government shutdown that has wreaked havoc on U.S. air travel.
"Due to the impact on resources from the longstanding government shutdown, Delta will temporarily suspend specialty services to members of Congress flying Delta,” the Atlanta-based U.S. air carrier said in a statement.
“Next to safety, Delta’s no. 1 priority is taking care of our people and customers, which has become increasingly difficult in the current environment.”
Members of Congress will not get airport escorts or VIP treatment for other services like seat upgrades or rebooking, the airline said, though lawmakers will still have access to a special phone line for reservations.
I’m surprised Congressman even fly commercial with us plebs. I thought they were all rich enough to fly in private jets and stroking off Corey Lewandowski.
A lot of congresspeople actually end up netting less than a lot of us.
They tend to be the better ones though.
Maybe if you just take their salaries into account, but the insider trading makes up for it.
You vastly underestimate how much even renting time on a private jet costs.
Which makes the folk who use them on the regular (like Linus Sebastien/Tech Tips) even bigger dickheads than you can imagine.
