Delta Is Flying into the Path of a Category 5 Hurricane Again

Stay safe and good luck!
Of course the death and destruction are nothing to laugh at, though I do often find humor in many other inappropriate things as well.
I lost about 1/4 of my roof with significant water damage in the Charley/Jeanne/Francis storms of 2004.

And glad you're ok.
Or maybe there was no fuse or maybe wire from before the fuse was connected to the water.
Im about 30 mins from the airport.
Back in the 90s, my mom was diagnosed with what turned out to be terminal cancer, and was having major surgery the next day. Being the mid 90s, there were no cheap ticket web sites, and next-day flights were priced for business travelers (out of the reach of a poor grad student). However, airlines did give you a break for family emergencies like this. Delta was the only major airline that treated me like a human being and got me a ticket to be with my family during this terrible time.
To this day, I go out of my way to fly Delta, even when it means a plane change if another carrier has a direct route, etc.
I try and fly Delta and American when possible. Delta also seems to be a good company to work for from what a friend says.
Delta is my favorite airline, period. They have more than made up for a few rough years I had with them and their policies and products are much more reasonable to me than other airlines. I really only want to fly other airlines for something like a 'flagship route' of a foreign carrier.
Though unless the flight is cancelled, I doubt I'd get bumped. I'm platinum in their SkyMiles program, and I think that factors into any bumping.
We've already warned you about breaking those rules, so would you please fix this?

Delta's still shitty with their pricing, but they're clearly the lesser of those two evils.
I flew DTW-BNA (then stayed for a week) BNA-DTW (then stopped for a night) DTW-YYZ (stayed for a week) YYZ-SLC-SEA for about 1200 bucks, for a first class ticket - this is quite reasonable when you consider the segments involved.
Consider that with DL/AS/AA/UA I'm going to pay about the same for a cross country ticket - within 30-40 bucks, even with WN or B6, you're still going to be paying within 100 bucks of the most expensive of the big four, and within 40 bucks of the cheapest on most routes - in general, its 350-500 dollars to fly cross country in the US.
... and yes, I'm perfectly happy to pay extra to have a for-sure, I know its going to be there, isle seat.
Incidentally, every airline charges a high premium for next day travel - even then on DL, I was able to go SEA-DTW-PIT for about 800 round trip, on a ticket booked less than four hours before the flight took off.

Talk about a bold move.
